521photo Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hello everyone, this is my first post. My question is regarding the new BMCC specific speedbooster - will it work with my existing contax lenses if I use a contax to Nikon adaptor?

3sides Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 depending on the lens, I would do mount conversion, then use the speed booster. the added adapter will allow way too much barrel play and you will see it when you roll focus. read below. Welcome to Leitax, this is our Zeiss/Contax for Nikon page. Yes, I know it, it should be not possible to use Contax lenses on Nikon cameras due to the negative registry distance, but there is a trick in this conversion that will make it possible for a selection on Carl Zeiss Contax lenses. The same as with Leica lenses, this conversion is fully reversible and will not damage the lens nor the camera. The Zeiss/Contax lenses will focus to infinity, and your Nikon camera from D200 and upper model will meter in Av mode (stop down) and will show focus confirmation light in the viewfinder. Our mount allows to use Carl Zeiss T* 35mm SLR Manual Focus Lenses on Nikon cameras, but only MM type with narrow diameter bayonet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
