Want to Buy Alpa and Exakta lenses

[Karl K]

35mm and 50mm lenses with external shutter releases. Also adapters to use other lenses on Alpa and Exakta bodies.

I still have an exacta lens for sale here https://www.photrio.com/forum/threa...a-p-k-28mm-isco-gottingen-50mm-exakta.195547/

Since nobody has responded with an Alpa lens for my Alpa 11el, I’ll ask if there is a reasonably priced adapter which will allow mounting any other brand 50mm or 35mm lens with focusing to infinity. I recall years ago seeing adapters for Pentax and Nikon lenses made to fit the Alpa bodies.

Ok, still no responses.
My Alpa 11el is alone, naked and afraid.
Let's expand this search to include ANY Alpa mount lens, wide, normal, or tele.
She needs a lens to be happy.

Good luck. I've been in photography since 1971, and was a clerk in 2 different camera stores back in the 70's in the southern US. In all my years I have never once seen an Alpa. So just hang on and be patient. I'm sure something will crop up.

Alpa cameras are more common in the UK/Europe. I see them every so often at camera fairs but rarely lenses on their own.

There's a Belgian eBay seller with a few lenses for Alpa cameras listed. He's reliable, very accurate descriptions, I bought a near mint 1963 300mm Xenar off him earlier this year.

I'd suggest looking for a M42 to Alpa adapter, but they aren't cheap. But then you can use any good M42 lens and they are easy to find.

I would like original Alpa mount lenses, rather than M42 adapted lenses.

Can you share the contact info on the Belgian eBay seller?
You can PM me if you prefer.
Thanks,
Karl

Still searching for a 28mm, 35mm wide-angle or a 50mm lens in the Alpa mount.
