I tried searching but found no info on this topic online.
From what I've found, Kodak Retina and Bessamatic lenses both use DKL mount but the mount has been modified so they aren't compatible.
I'm thinking about picking up a Retina or Bessamatic, and wondering if I can use the Russian DKL mount lenses on them.
Apparently, 4, 5, 6 used this mount, but I'm not sure if they're compatible.
I'm kind of curious to try to Russian lenses out on the German made cameras if anyone has any info.

- Jupiter-25Ц 85mm f2.8
- Tair-38Ц 133mm f2.8

the Russian lenses don´t fit the Bessamatic / Ultramatic / Kodak Retina mount.
The flange focal depth of the Russian "DKL" lenses are 47.6mm
that one of the German "Trinity" DKL lenses is 44.7mm.
