I am sad to announce that after much anticipation of wanting to
convert my contax N lenses to the EOS mount via the guy in Canada, i
rushed and sent him all of my lenses and it appears that he has walked
way with my lenses.
I can't help but think how really really stupid the whole idea was from the
beginning. It's not like Canon doesn't have any good lenses, and not like he
couldn't sell those lenses. I wonder if those Contax lenses would
ever even work
fully automatically. Oh well, good luck to him recovering from his error.
HIS error??? Blaming the victim, right?
With just a little investigation you would have found out that yes it
does work (when he does the job) and that many people feel that Canon
lenses are not the be-all end-all in a number of categories. Yes,
Canon have some first rate, close to or even best in class, but it's
hardly an even standard. I have a half a dozen L lenses and somewhat
more than that of non-L lenses, and both groups have some outstanding
lenses and some that I consider barely adequate. Contax and some
other manufacturers have some outstanding lenses in categories that
are Canon weak spots, so why not try to use your lenses?
I use Canon as well as other manufacturer's products for what they do
well, but if I find something that works better, I don't use blind
brand allegiance as my guide.
