can anyone help me find an adapter that will allow me to use a lets say Sigma 30 1.4 on my Yashica FX7 (35mm film). It takes C/Y lenses.

Better yet is there a Fast (C/Y Mount) prime out there that is in the 300~ price range? If i have to buy an adapter, i don't mind either.

Thanks for any help.

No you can't adapt Canon to yashica.

EDIT: Nevermind, just realized I was thinking of the Zeiss Flektogon 35mm f2.4 which is in m42 mount, not Yashica. :oops:

Not only is there no aperture ring but an EF-S type lens is made for a small sensor and won't work well on a 35mm camera.

For Yashica, I would check out the Contax 35mm f2.4

any others ?

thanks :)
