I've never even seen a Contax in original form.

Haven't you seen a Contax AX so converted?  I didn't think they were

Just had a thought...    How about someone makes a MOUNT conversion, not the

I'm going to circle this one back around to that 28/2. Hubba*2

Mine is living on the OM-3Ti. Might as well just glue it in place.
