Yes, I had , very valuble 500 USD item if older interchangeable Tenax, quality was fine vs half frame I think better than Olympus PEN.

Thanks Stefan and Attila.
Attila thats nice camera indeed. Cool ! half frame from Zeiss... and prewar. I see your cam has Tessar lens. I read this cam came with Tessar and sonnar.

Usually Sonnar is more respected one, don't convert it , just temporary mount. Not too many available worth to care properly. My repair man can make proper reversible temporary mount if you wish to use it a lot.

I've only ever seen one -and that was back around 1960!

But wasn't it a square negative size - 24x24mm?

24x24 right Stephen thanks! To adopt lens to a new donor: If not perfectly fit think about hard plastic as nest of genuine lens , my repair man made such a good conversion , genuine lens remain untouched , but connection is strong enough in my case to fix sony nex adaper on movikon lens back.

That's right, seller has at least 3 copies. he was still selling one last week. now it's gone.

I attached it in my contax RF/Kiev - Nex adapter, works nicely.plus I can make it closer MFD, so close focus shots on #3 like using extension tubes.
samples, increase contrast, resize.
