Conorus (a Canadian company) is a "life saviour" for C645 users that also use Canon DSLRs, it gives them the opportunity to save a fortune by providing them with an adapter so that the user can use all his Contax645 lenses, with full dedication of aperture coupling, AF, Exif data and modes as if they where a dedicated Canon lens!
Thus, a Canon user that also uses a C645 system may share his brilliant 80mm f2 Zeiss for portraiture, his outstanding 120mm f4 APO macro for macro work or any other superb Zeiss glass from 35mm up to 350mm… More than that, he will save (much) cost and space by:
1. Use common lenses on both their systems,
2. Reduce bulk considerably when they have a common project where both MF and DSLR equipment is needed for different parts of it,
3. Integrate both MF and DSLR systems to make them acting as one, thus saving extra "back up" camera bodies.
But what about a Nikon user that also uses Contax645 as I am? Is he the "son of a lesser God?…Why can't he have the same flexibility? …The excuse was (up to now) the aperture coupling, which is electronic with Canon (just like Contax), as of mechanical with Nikon… But this man has solved the problem…

I've contact the man and asked for a (pre-production) adapter to try… Watch the video, the man is working on more adapters to "link" almost everything that can be linked physically as far as image area and mount distance permits it… I wish him the best of success, he may prove a "life saviour" for more photographers.
