These instructions are here thanks to our client and friend Vaughn, who send us his Contax Tessar 45/2.8  to make it work on Pentax cameras. logo














This is the Carl Zeiss Tessar 45/2.8 MM type.











First, unscrew the rear mount, please note the 22 number of green color, this shows it is a MM type lens.
















This is the aperture lever.















We have to "open" the bayonet like a door around this lever.
















Bayonet out
.
















Now look at the small bearing ball
.













Let's put a bit of grease on it
.















Install the new Leitax mount, the red dot goes near the lens scale center
.

















And screw it
.














Ready, we can use this excellent lens on Pentax cameras.
Of course, it will focus to infinity.














It is really thin, a real pancake lens from Zeiss.
This bayonet will be made upon request, please write to info@leitax.com
