Well I have an adapter and am using old older Contax Ziess T* lenses
on my 1DS.
Have not been impressed. Manual stop down, manual focus on these
impossible viewfinders, very difficult to work with.
I'll know more the more I work with it all, but am leaning back toward
just using the canon lenses.
If you are lucky enough to nail focus, and the moon is in the right
phase, and you're at the perfect f-stop, maybe they are worth the
trouble, but I have no real working evidence yet.
