Hello John,

There was/is one on ebay yesterday, don't remember which mount...
Changing mount means changing the whole sliding back ($$), it's not working with inserts like others brands.

I'm also looking for used lenses, but used Digitars (and similar) are difficult to find, especially on in a Silvestri mount.

Thanks Tom.  It was gone by time I went looking for it.  However, I have changed my mind to opt for the Silvestri Bicam instead.  The Flexicam will only accept lenses up to 105mm while the Bicam can go up to 150mm or so.  I figue the extra weight of the Bicam is worth the trade off.

Good choice.
That's right, i do use the flexicam with the 120mm Zeiss CFE via adapter and it works, but the Digitar 120 macro is not officially supported, never heard of someone who used a longer lens than 105mm, my longest Schneider lens is the 100 Digitar, which is sometimes not long enough.
Good luck with the bicam.
