If you have a search through some of the old posts it is possible to use c/cs mount lenses with the bresser

not sure a c/cs lens will fit John, without changing the lens carrier or fitting an adaptor.......

iirc the thread is about 40mm :think:

poppy might be able to chip in with the actual size, sent him one up a few months back ;)

cheers john

Yes thats right mate , i done one quite a while ago when i was going to use it as an add on you fit a cs lens carrier over the sensor , i dont know if you coud add a c mount to m42 adaptor and use slr lenses or even if there would be any advantage in using a 5-100 c mount lens :think:

Anyone done this mod ?
Or is it a wiser move to just get hold of the Yukon 3x
Cheers

as said, you can fit a cs mount adaptor and put all sorts of lenses on

But for me by far the neatest option is a 3x42 or the 1.7x24 yukon lens
You wont lose much money if you decide to sell them either
