It is well known that the Retina IIIS and Retina Reflex lenses can be adapted to fit the Voigtlander Bessamatic/Ultramatic (and vice versa).

But what other lenses can be adapted (if any)? How about lenses from the Agfa Ambi Silette, Braun Super II, Regula IIID, Voigtlander Prominent, Voigtlander Vitessa T ?

I'm thinking the Regula IIID is possible. Maybe the Prominant. Have never seen the Vitessa T mount.

You probably know already that interchangeability stems from the fact that all these cameras use the Deckel lens mount. You may also consider Instamatic Reflex, Iloca Electric, Edixa Electronica, Balda Baldamatic III, Braun Colorette and Braun Reflex Automatic, maybe others. Tread carefully here as in some cases some judicious filing may be needed. I'm sure you'll find plenty info by searching under Deckel mount and under the above mentioned. Best luck.
