It is basically the same system used on the IIc rangefinder, though not so awkward in use. The Reflex S had the shutter moved back and the whole lens was replaceable. I likely won't try to find the accessory lenses.<br />My Contaflex, also a leaf shutter model, has a similar system, though it requires the use of a bracket to hold the accessory telephoto lens in front of the objective without removing the front lens group.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-26552002811646148422018-11-20T21:50:57.812-07:002018-11-20T21:50:57.812-07:00Do you have any of the other lens units (35mm and ...Do you have any of the other lens units (35mm and possibly 85mm?)? Is this the type of shutter arrangement where you remove the front lens group and replace it with the wide-angle or short tele front groups?Kodachromeguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234925040052813302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-79394253582188959932018-11-20T17:58:58.351-07:002018-11-20T17:58:58.351-07:00Good move.

I got mine from Australia about 15 years ago when international postal rates were still tolerable. It was nearly flawless and has always performed faultlessly when called on.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-89532171241022262182018-11-20T17:42:26.711-07:002018-11-20T17:42:26.711-07:00Ok...you've inspired me!

It shows both the good resolution of the Xenon lens as well as the nice quality which Kentmere 100 can deliver.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-24667529821464831702018-11-20T15:44:59.353-07:002018-11-20T15:44:59.353-07:00The photo of the duck is stunning.
