I can across these zeiss contaflex lenses. Anyone know if they are useable on an sgpro? I'm not sure what kind of mount this is and I was wondering if theres an adapter i can use with my nikon mount to be able to use these lenses because Wayne at shoot35 wasnt able to identify the mount neither.

Those are probably Pro Tessar or Steritar Lenses.

The Contaflex mount was designed for a leaf shutter, front interchangeable lens cell camera. The Contarex mount had a complicated linkage to allow the lens diaphragm to be controlled from the camera body.

I believe that there were different bayonet mounts for the Tessar and the Novar lens which was fitted to less expensive Contaflex's.

I don´t think you can buy an adapter for that.

On the other hand, those lenses are pretty slow anyway - not what you want on a 35mm adapter.
