The back-focus of a Contax RF camera is about six or eight mm too deep for a direct conversion which would allow infinity focus, so the conversion would require some machine work to take off some of the rear lensmount. Beyond that, it should be easy for most Leitz lenses of the era. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
