Kapture Group makes some very nice digital back adapters for 5x4 and they are available in Contax mount. You can also use Hasselblad V lenses on a Mamiya DF or AFD with an adapter but in manual stop down mode and focus confirmation. Used Contax backs are hard to find and will be expensive, however fantastic lenses will be cheaper thanks to plenty of nice used Contax gear around. For that you would have to get a used Mamiya AFD III or a Phase One 645 AF. The Mamiya DF does not support film backs. The Phase Mamiya cameras are well built, but not as relaible as the Contax, but keep in mind the Contax is a simpler camera. I would say that it's limitations are slow auto focusing in low light and no focus support light. ![]() ![]() The Contax has a fabulous build, really reliable and the lenses very nice.
