Just curious to know! Will it work. I did not try it yet but will do this for sure! My concern is about cam and focus issues.
Thanks in advance for your comments!

Works like a charm. I've been using that setup regularly for close to 15 years.
With the 2.1cm lens (21mm), depth of field is enormous, so it more than covers the slight focus difference between Zeiss and Nikon focus mounts.

Also, unlike with the Contax IIa/IIIa, you don't have to worry about lining up the lenses rear rotating light-baffle collar. The Nikon is much larger inside.

If you find you like shooting with it, you might want to get a Leitz or Cosina-Voigtlander 21mm finder.

Thanks Vince!
That viewfinder you can see on top of my S2 is a Zeiss Ikon from 21mm to 135mm range so no problem. I will try it next weekend and will post some pictures!!
Tks again
Antonio

Uma câmera linda, Antonio. Vai trabalhar muito bem. O 21 e um oculo bom, e tão curto, não ha problemas com o S2. Eu tenho um 21 por CV, e trabalha em meu S2, Contax, e Kiev.
