I could have posted this in the Canon forum but as it may be of interest to users of other systems and as the Contax Yashica forum is looking a bit sad, here goes. Having used two Contax cameras a RTS and 137MA for over twenty years, the 137MA started to let me down earlier this year. It now leaks light and the frame spacing is not good, to the extent of overlapping some images. I have always had a liking for Canon and want a 5D eventually but not at £1100 for a rough used example, so off I went and bought a rough used EOS5 (film) to start building a new system around. I have a couple of lenses 28-70 F2.8 and an 80-200 F2.8, both old but good, providing you use the lens hood on the 28-70. What I want to do is use my Zeiss 85mm F1.4 on the EOS, yes it will be manual focus and aperture but as I often use it wide open there will not be a lot of stopping down to taking aperture. My question is do I buy an adapter with the chip to allow focus confirmation or one without. What do you use and indeed do the 'chipped' adapters work satisfactorily ?
