I like the IIIS a lot, and the Xenar is a great lens.
Thinking of a wide angle now, but I am a bit puzzled with the variety of lenses available for the IIIS. Those are the same as used for the Reflex S (and probably other Retina Reflex types as well). Some of the Reflex lenses seem not to have a RF cam, or whatever mechanical connection.
I understand that the 35mm lenses may be used without an auxiliary finder, while the 28mm will need external viewfinders (which I have).
Cost / results, what would you suggest?
About 45 years ago I used briefly a 28mm Curtagon with a Reflex S, it was quite decent. The kit did not have a 35, though.
Are adapters available for other mounts? i.e. IIIS body to other-mount-lens.
Thanks for any comment, suggestions or pointers.

I may have for the IIIS a 28 and a 35 lens somewhere.
