Our Leitax mount will work on all Contax C/Y lenses variants made by
Zeiss, and possibly
on other brands lenses with the C/Y mount.
|
|
This one is a Narrow MM type mount. Note the lug on the original mount. |
|
The Wide MM lenses have a pin there. Other Contax lenses have nothing there, no problem, just put the lens at this same position guided by the notch below. | |
This is what you receive from Leitax. | |
First, we put the steel plate on top of the original mount. Evidently, the lug/pin will coincide with the cut-out on the Leitax mount. |
|
Like this. | |
Now install the black ring. | |
Note the position of the small hole, like this the black ring will enter between the original mount wings. | |
And now we can rotate it until the small hole coincides with that slot . | |
See how convenient is to have the screwdriver magnetized. Just rub a magnet on it. |
|
Time to put the small screw into the threaded hole. | |
Done, now the black ring cannot rotate. | |
Now see that the holes of the two rings don't coincide.. | |
Rotate a bit the steel ring until they coincide. | |
And we can install the lens centering ring on top of the steel ring. | |
Now we need that the three holes coincide to use the included black screws. | |
Carefully, tighten the four black screws, alternatively bit each one until tight, but not too much. I use only two fingers on the screwdriver to avoid doing too much force. |
|
Ready, now our Contax lens can be used on the full frame Arri cameras. | |
