I have a Canon 85/1.8. It's got a really nice manual focus feel to it.
And I seriously doubt you'd know any difference in sharpness from the
Contax. I do not know why you'd crave sharpness for portraits in any
case.

You can get a nice used one for a couple of hundred bucks.
No adaptor needed.

If all you want is a lens that says Contax on the front, maybe you're
in the wrong email group.
