xplore our curated selection of classic Deckel (DKL) mount lenses. Developed by the renowned Compur-Werk Friedrich Deckel in Munich, this unique bayonet system was widely adopted in the 1950s and 60s for premium leaf-shutter SLR cameras like the Voigtländer Bessamatic, Kodak Retina Reflex, and Braun Paxette.
The Charm of DKL Mount Optics
-
Legendary German Glass: The DKL system features world-class optics from legendary mid-century optical houses, including Schneider-Kreuznach (Xenar, Curtagon), Carl Zeiss, and Voigtländer (Color-Skopar, Septon).
-
Unique Mechanical Design: DKL lenses do not have built-in aperture rings. Instead, the aperture blades inside the lens are controlled mechanically via linkages in the original camera body or through a specialized modern mount adapter.
-
Modern Mirrorless Adaptation: Easily breathe new life into these vintage German masterpieces by mounting them on modern mirrorless systems (Sony E, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds) or M42 thread platforms using dedicated DKL adapters equipped with built-in aperture control rings.
