flavour number one with serial number 275 range (as well
as my Elmar 135). And both of these versions pre-date the later one with
non-removable head. Now that you have cleared that up, I
hope that Claude can find the adaptor he needs. This is just the best
construction set you could ever fiddle with!
Enjoy your wine.
Cheers

OK. Here are my two Tele-Elmars and the odd threading I was talking about.

Note the caption; they should be self explanatory. The odd head has a
thread that is very slightly smaller than that of the 135/4.5 Hektor
or 135/4 Elmar; it's at about the right distance from the front of
the lenshead to work, but it slips just inside the 16472K adapter
that's intended for the Elmar and Hektor. It's a fine pitch thread,
unlike the coarse thread on the regular Tele-Elmar. The barrel that's
thicker for a longer stretch keeps the lenshead from fitting in the
OTZFO. The OUAGO, normally intended for the 90/4 Elmar but slightly
useable for the 135 Tele-Elmar and 65 Elmar, also is unusable for
this old T-E.
I could look up the alternate and varying codes and numbers for the
adapters, and measure the threads, but I've had a couple of glasses
of wine and just don't feel like it right now. Reserva Duoro 2001
V.N. Gaia. Better than adapters.
