Is it possible to mount the Schneider lenses for the Retinas on the Baldamatic III?   Ruediger Roettgers Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Friday, June 30, 2006 - 08:04 am:        Yes, it is ! Additionally, the Iloca Electric, Voigtlaender Ultramatic/Bessamatic, Instamatic Reflex and the Edixa Electronica share the bayonet. Some lens version (for the RF cameras) have a rangefinder coupling, some (for the SLR cameras) have not. The bayonet is only slightly different and can be modified by little metal work (take care of not letting any metal dust into the lenses !). That way, I have arranged lenses from 28 to 350 mm focal length with the different camera bodies including using the revolutionary Voigtlaender 2,8/36-82 mm Zoomar on my Retina Reflex.
