Adapting basics#

A lens can be adapted with simple tube spacers when its flange distance is longer than the camera's. With 45.70 mm, Deckel (DKL) lenses can in principle go on bodies with shorter flanges such as Sony / Minolta A-mount, Rollei QBM, Samsung Kenox mount, Praktica B, Canon EF, Canon EF-S. Bodies with this mount can take lenses from longer-flange systems such as Leica R, KMZ Zenit DKL-mount, Contax N, Tamron Adaptall, Arri PL, Leica S, T-mount (T2), Mini T-mount.
