Cannon to Yashica / Contax mount.

I have several Zeiss lenses, from back in the film days, with my Contax camera. I have thought about getting a Cannon to Yashica mount in order to use that nice glass once again.

I know it would all be in manual mode, and I must admit that I have been spoiled by autofocus over the years and hope that I could get back in the game again.

This would be strictly for pleasure and play with the system.

How much IQ, could I expect to lose with that mount?

Could I still shoot in AP or SP, but just have to manually focus? Or would I have to go all manual?

I have a Cannon Rebel T4i.

I haven't even used the Cannon all that much lately, as I have been sucked in, by the higher end bridge cameras. So easy to carry around.

Thanks for any advice.

Jane
