The Focomat has the original Elmar 5cm/3.5 Fooly. Literature suggests that the turret will also accept the Focotar lens as well but this is not clear concerning the later versions, so my question is : Will all the Focotar 50/4.5 versions fit into the slim lens turret of a IIA Focomat?? All empirical knowledge welcome regarding this important question. I've combed the archives, all my books, the internet, etc., yet have not been able to answer this question. There is another question which will solve this problem as well: Are the lens turrets on a Focomat IIc the same as the IIa?? If they are then the answer to the previous question is yes.
