Adapting basics#

A lens can be adapted with simple tube spacers when its flange distance is longer than the camera's. With 48.00 mm, Contax N lenses can in principle go on bodies with shorter flanges such as Nikon F, Olympus OM, Yashica MA-mount, Deckel (DKL), Braun Paxette Reflex DKL-mount, Voigtländer Vitessa T DKL-mount. Bodies with this mount can take lenses from longer-flange systems such as Tamron Adaptall, Arri PL, Leica S, T-mount (T2), Mini T-mount, YS mount, Mamiya 6, Vivitar TX.
