anthonymarsh Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I have two AUTOMATS and would like to swap lenses. One has a TESSAR T the other does not. Would I need to swap all elements or only the front element? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin O Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I would imagine that it would be a recipe for disaster to start mixing-and-matching elements from one lens with another. Treat the lenses from each camera as units. And I'd include keeping taking/viewing lenses together as a pair - if I recall correctly, they were matched in the factory to ensure accurate focusing. Just my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur_smith1 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 May physically be possible. Optically, it will give you poor images, if that is what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
