Hi,

I have an RB Series B 2x3 with a Kodak Anastigmat F4.5, 5 1/2 in lens.

Does anybody know what other lenses were available back in the days -- and also what is the threading of the lens mount?

I assume KODAK ANASTIGMAT 6 3/8 inches (162mm) F4.5 would not fit, right?

Thanks for the link!!

So it seems they never thought about interchangeable lenses? I thought I saw somewhere a discussion of some options for different lens options for the 2x3 SLR. But I cannot find it anymore -- so it may be it never existed

I measured the mount threads on my 1948 2x3 Series B 127mm f4.5 Ektar.
It is 1 13/32 x 24 tpi.
The camera serial number is on the view hood door behind the view hood if you want to date it.

absolutely awesome. Thank you so much. I always want to know my camera's manufacturing age. I have, for example, a Rolleiflex 2.8F of my own age (as closely as you can date Rolleis), and a Kiev 60 built the same year when Chernobyl exploded just 60 miles south
