The Zeiss PC lens optical quality is without peer and can be used on Canon with an adapter (google it). $1200. I bought it to use on my XPan II, with the Contax C/Y to XPan adapter. It's NOT rangefinder coupled but with a wide angle of view and DoF, guesstimate focus is fine. The image circle is ~60mm, ~2-4 mm shorter than the full XPan Pano frame. The adapter is $200. For $1400, you get an alternative to the XPan 30mm that is faster and less than 1/2 the price.
