There was an extension ring that was made so that you can put regular lenses on it. I was able to mount any 39mm thread mt lens and use it with no troubles. You might contact Glazier's in Seattle ((206) 624-1100) which carries a huge stock of out of production items. I think that this item is still made by Leitz as I believe that it is necessary to use one in order to mount a regular lens on any pre-V35 enlarger. Hope this helps. >Can anybody advise me about a Leitz Focomat I? The lens is VAROB Ernst >Leitz Wetzlar 3.5 and is "extended" about an inch or two. Regular 50mm >lenses won't focus.
