So I got a voigtlander dynaret 100mm 4.8. I have a DKL adapter that works for my retina DKL lenses and also on the 135mm voigtlander dynarex and even the Rodenstock rotelar. But the dynaret wont fit properly. The aperture ring is too large and the lens will not fit all the way inside and fix to the bayonet lugs.

I'm using this adapter:

Anybody got advice?

Your DynareT lens was made for the Vitessa T produced from 1956 to 1959 and is not compatible to the Bessamatic where the lens was named DynareX instead. Fotodiox is offering an adapter at least for Canon: https://fotodioxpro.com/products/vitessa-eos-pro-dc .
Not really cheap. Wink
I think you can get a Vitessa T for less money.

Thanks for that. I was remiss on my research I thought DKL adapters would work on all DKL lenses. Clearly not the case.

As you can see if you follow the link hereunder, the first version of the DKL like on the Vitessa T and the Braun Colorette (lens on the right side) comes with an integrated aperture ring whilst the second version from the Bessamatic and all other DKL-mount cameras has the aperture ring on the camera (lens on the left side).

Yeenon did do a Vitessa T to M42 mount adapter on ebay,very well made. Not sure if they still do.

I have one and use it on a Dynaret and am on the lookout for a cheap skoparet to try out.
