Since this is a classic M39 thread, it's much easier and cheaper to use with modern mirrorless cameras than the Contax mount. You no longer need a complicated adapter with its own helicoid.
A standard adapter ring with standard markings will work:
M39 - NEX / E-mount (for Sony)
M39 - FX (for Fujifilm)
M39 - M4/3 (for Olympus/Panasonic)
M39 - NZ (for Nikon Z)
M39 - EOS R (for Canon)
