Adapter for old lens

[footman]

I'd like to use this 1951 Zeiss Opton Sonnar F1.5 50mm T lens on my Sony E mount body. Has anyone any ideas what adapter might be available, thus far I've drawn a blank.

The only way to offer such interfaces at an acceptable price is to justify
the production of the said adapter in fair quantity by the promise of it's
acceptance on the world market place. This implies that the need is well
documented… this wish of yours is possibly not shared by many.

I wish you good luck, Laurence.

There's a discussion of the various options here:

Looks like the cheapest is an adapter constructed from an old Kiev rangefinder mount and a modern Sony adapter, which sounds like a Frankenstein solution but apparently works very well. You can find these on ebay.

Thanks for the replies. I've had a look at some options and I've decided to stick with adapting Canon FD lenses, much simpler!
