Fellow Contaxians (Contaxites, Contaxados, etc),
I was browsing ebay and I came across several off-brand lens for the Contax mount. Makers include one company I have never heard of, Samyang, and one I have heard of, Phoenix.
In no way would I ever buy anything but Zeiss for my Contax (that is why I own contax in the first place), but I was curious if anyone has ever tried an off-brand lens on their Contax.
Cost comparision:
Phoenix 19-35 F 3.5-4.5 going for 149.00
(closest comparision) Zeiss 17-35 F2.8 N mount 1499.99
Another...
Starblitz 500 F8 Mirror Lens 199.99
Zeiss 500 F8 Mirotar 799.99
Are you getting what you pay for?
