Hi

I just bought a Contax 167MT with the following lenses very cheap and was wondering if anyone had used these on their E-P1.

The lenses are Carl Zeiss distagon 28mm f2,8 , Planar 50mm f1,7 , Yashica 55mm f2.8 Macro and Carl Zeiss 25mm f2,8

Has anyone any pics they can show me with these on the E-P1 and or let me know how good they will be etc that would be great.

Thanks
James

The 28, 25 and 50 (haven't used the Yashica 55) are great lenses, I've used them adapted on APS-C DSLRs, but not longer have them to use on my E-P1,

though I am looking for those lenses again. The 25 is great close-up and the 28 is great for about everything, and the 50 1.7 is a little sharper than the f1.4 version, and is terrific contrast and great skin-tones. Definitely worth getting an adapter for. I'm sure there are samples of pics taken with these lenses on Flickr as there are several groups now with E-P1 and m43 using alternative lenses.
