contaflex 126 adapter

[hofsethpaul]

ich habe diese tema-abteilung durchgesucht und nur 10jahre altes info gefunden.

Further in English;

I am contempolating the purchase of a set of the old Zeiss instamatic lenses, 32,40&135. Mainly out of curiosity, even though I already have similar, very good, focal lenghts.

However, the lenses lack controls for setting aperture sand distance. This was provided by the camera. Grafting into a helicoid is the simple part, easy operqation of the aperture is another matter. Also doing this to use the entire set is problematic , so an adapter is neded-

The rference given here to ebay yields nothing. Anyone with adapter suggestions ?-or is the project not woth the effort ?

If you refer to the Contaflex 126 System (not sure how to take the instamatic reference), there a simple search for i.e. "contaflex 126 adapter sony e" brings up interesting hits. Even on the lenses itself, useful comments can be found.

IIRC there was such system on offer in CH a while ago and I was considering to get into it, but then bailed out for cost reasons. That adapter is not really cheap and there is enough stuff already in my shop. So...
