I use Leitax for my Contax lenses on my Pentax camera.
Leitax doesn't offer a conversion yet for the wide mount Contax lenses, like the Contax 100-300. Technically, Leitax confirmed me it can be done. 87.Contax*100-300*4.5-5.6*MM???PK_??UU
On this Chinese site I saw a conversion from C/Y using M42 to PK mount. Do you think this can be done using a standard M42 adapter and separate Leitax/pk mount together?
Great to hear your input.

Last night, I asked David from Leitax, if it would be possible to make a PK mount for the Contax 100-300.
He replied it would be possible and is going to look into it. For me that lens is the holy grail of zooms. Just imagine, the K-1 with that lens, lighter (925 grams) and smaller in that zoom range then other modern offerings and with it's stunning IQ.
I already have the 35-70/3.4 and it's resolving power keeps amazing me. Would be great to have the 100-300 with it!

Hi Michiel,
I Leitaxed the CZ 50/1.7 myself (took me no time at all), but David from Leitax did my 35-70/3.4 because that one is rather difficult (according to David).
With the new mounts, both work perfect on my K-5. I live in Hilversum. Do you have another system to use your Contax lenses, or are they laying on the shelf?

Castlerigg Stone Circle in The Lake District early in the morning. The sun just visible before the clouds took over and the rain set in.

I wish Leitax would also do a Pentax mount for the legendary Contax 100-300 mm. I am afraid it will never happen.

Lloyd Chambers mentioned in his blog from June 8 he has a Leitax K mount for his Zeiss 21/2.8 zf.2.
I remember David from Leitax was working on such a mount but I didn't know it is already possible.
Haven't seen it on the Leitax site. Is it a DIY thing from Lloyd?

Thise are the first shots I've seen with this combo. Perhaps some shots of your lawn mower next time.

All the best wishes to you all and may the new year bring us good health and a FF. To celebrate how far we have come, a pic with the K100D and the FA35F2.
