Hello,
I was interested to see the Fotoman 45PS in the FOTOIMPEX catalogue. I still have a very old but fully functional Zeiss Tessar 13.5/4.5 with a Compur shutter lying around at home. Does anyone perhaps know whether this lens can be adapted to the Fotoman?
Best regards,
T.L.

In principle, yes.
You could combine the 135mm worm gear with a 3mm shim and make full use of the worm gear’s 2mm adjustment range.
The metre scale is accurate enough.
However, I would consider such a combination to be of limited practical use, as the cone protrudes 135mm (which causes the camera to tilt and makes it unwieldy) and, furthermore, the depth of field is so shallow that shooting handheld is virtually impossible.
I would therefore always recommend a lens between 50 and 90mm.
Best regards,
Mirko
