Zeiss/Contax Distagon on EOS bodies

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Who has had experience with Contax lenses (especially medium
WA like 24mm) mounted via an adapter to Canon digital EF mount
camers (especially full frame)? I have seen some references where
these lenses seem far superior to Canon's.
Anyone care to comment?

I don't think RichA is going to put down 4-3 thousand on a piece of
Ziess glass for his "magnesium" body point and shoot.
