The answer depends a bit on what ring you have now. If you can tell me what ring you have I can tell you what lenses will fit. You can also buy the Hove's Leica accesory guide. This small book has all the info you look for. Also a Leica handbook from that time will give you all the info. If I presume you have the standard ring the folowing lensens will fit: heads of: Elmar90, (early)elmarit90, elmar65 and Tele-elmar 135. For the bellows II there are also rings available for: photar lenses, 135 hektor head, 125 hektor head, M-bayonet, early 90 summicron head, early 50 summicron head, head elmarit 135, head telyt 200/4, head telyt 280/4.8 and screw mount lenses including the enlarger lenses.
