Hi all. I've recently bought a Canon EOS 40D. I have a complete
set
of Zeiss lenses, manual focus. I know there are adapters to mount
these lenses on 40D. I'm inetrested on using 60 macro on digital
camera and a guy in Italy has a "adapter ring with chip". He told
me
that chip is for "say" to the body tha focus is ok. My answer is:
can I use 60 macro on 40D with this adapter?
Just curious, what mount were these lenses designed for? Didn't
they
do mostly rangefinder & medium format lenses back in the day?

Zeiss made a wide range of lenses for Contax and Yashica SLRs
starting around 1975.

The "chip" enables focus confirmation.

You shouldn't need a chip for focus confirmation. Not for Nikon
anyways.

Your point being?
