Hi All,

I have an old Contax G1 with three fabulous lenses, 28, 45, and 90mm. I would love to use these lenses on a digital camera body.

Has anyone had any experiences in doing this?
What body do you use?
What adapter?
Are there limitations with autofocus, autoexposure, anything?

Thanks.

Thanks for the link, Kym, though those modifications they make look scary.

I must admit that I'm hoping to fit the lenses to a Micro4/3 camera, but again, some of the websites I've seen mention scary mods to get things to fit.

I'm hoping someone has had a more straightforward experience.
