Hello,

I was wondering what are the camera mounts used by east Germany.

As far as I know (and I'm far from a specialist), there is :

-Exakta
-Praktica
-Pentacon Six / Exakta 66
-M42

Do I miss something?

Praktina?

Reflex-Korelle apparently has 3 different mounts. From wikipedia: "After World War II, production of the camera was resumed in 1947 by Korelle-Werk, nationalized as VEB WEFO in 1948"

stricly spealking, the central shutter Zeiss -Werra qualifies, although its lenses are rarely adapted to mirrorless

Does anyone know what the non-cine mount on some of the Zeiss Tevidon lenses is?



And are there adapters for this?

Always open for an adaptation challenge.

Which reminds that I was looking for a 1.5/8" (41,2mm) 26TPI thread adapter to for example M42 thread adapter. Not for a Wrayflex lens though but a Ross lens.

most interesting site that I did not know about. Although I discovered that they make adapting VPexakta lens blocks to my Nikon Z possible, the tiny and good Werra lenses might be more interesting and the adapter purchase is much easier than the commonly recommended surgery on a defect camera body plus Araldite &c.
