hey
I was wondering if kodak deckel mount lenses could be modified to work in a voigtlander, and still used in the kodak retina reflex camera's.
I'm thinking of adding a Vitessa T to my collection, and it would be nice if I could use my lenses on both it and the reflex.

Thanks

Dave

kodak retina reflex lenses can be modified to work interchangeably in the retina and the voigtlander bessamatic, pretty easily. a vitessa, though, i don't know about that....

thanks for the reply, I'll take a lens into the shop and look at them both together. the vitessa T uses a scopar 50/2.8, with a deckel mount very similar to the mounts on my retina lenses.

In case it's of any use, here's the scoop on making retina reflex and bessamatic lenses interchangeable:
