The Colorplan 2.5/90 CF lens comes with a sleeve, #37133. The RT-300 was made by Singer and used Carosel trays. The colorplan lens and sleeve also fit the Ektagraph. I notice in the most recent Leica Handbook, they list several sleeves - the one for 35mm-120mm (dia. 42.5 mm) is numbered #37119. If you can find a lens with the sleeve, or a sleeve for the lens, you might haul your Carosel down and see how it fits. I'd sell you mine, but then my Leica lens wouldn't fit the RT-300. I now also have a Pradovit 2002P, and BTW both the Colorplan-P CF 2.5/90 and Super-Colorplan-P 2.5/90 fit the above sleeve, so I assume that the I.D. is 42.5mm. I had to cut back the 2.5/90 Colorplan CF lens used on the RT-300 about 5/16ths (took off the focusing tube and did it on a lathe) so that it would focus properly with the Ektagraph on a 70x70 screen.
