Call me crazy on this one : I am trying to port a Scheider Kreuznach, 28mm Retina Curtagon, as well as a Schneider Kreuznach 50mm Retina Xenon to a Voigtlander Vitessa T :
I have the optical blocks of the lenses, as well as the focusing helicoids ( lens bodies ) for Retina IIIs, and i plan to make frankenlenses for the vitessa T, by exchanging the rear mount plate of the lens, with Vitessa T lens spares that I have... is this feasible ??? I mean... flange to film distance is the same, rangedinder cam in the lens, and pin in the camera are in the same place, only thing to set, is the diaphragm actuator...
I really would like a super wide in my Vitessa T... or a fast normal...
