  1. I have a Nikon B8 and Nikon B12 filters in 52mm. If interested, make me an offer. My mistake. I went the wrong direction. Mark J
  2. Arthur: you will still need the OUBIO adapter as the sm 280 is designed for the Visoflex which is longer (deeper) than the Viso 2 and Viso 3. I have the 280 f:4.8 and use it on the Viso 3. I use the OUBIO due to difference in length of the Viso 1 and the later ones.
  3. I may be mistaken. isn't the visoflex and m mount bayonet the same? Can you put a bayonet to ltm adapter in the front of the viso 2 and mount your ltm lenses directly to the adapter. Good luck.
  4. It looks like a collapsible 50 Elmar. E Leitz, Leica Thread Mount.
  5. I agree it appears to be the accessory eyes for the mounted DR Summicron. Not all eyes are permanently mounted on the 35's. I had a 35 f:3.5 Summaron with removeable eyes.
  6. PM me and I can send you the .pdf file on the focomat 1C. The original that the .pdf was created from appears to be dated 1952. I have mine set up with a Schneider 50 Componon and the auto-focus can be calibrated to work quite well with it. The file is 1.8 MB.

  8. <p>Shawn: The bellows II will not mount directly to an A7 due to the rotation of the mount. You can mount a Visoflex III with the Bellows II and the Visoflex III has a rotating mount that will clear the body. In the photo, I used a Novoflex LEICA R mount to A7 adapter. Next is a Leica 14167 Visoflex to Leica R adapter, then Bellows II with a Leica 16596 Adapter Ring (Bellows to M adapter) and a Dual Range Summicron. <br> The DR Summicron with the bellows fully extended gave a linear field of 1cm. The 90 Summicron, Version II, Canada gave a 2cm linear dimension on the 35mm axis. I mounted the 90 Summicron using the same combination of adapters as the DR Summicron. The shorter the focal length of the lens, the greater the magnification. A 35mm would give even greater magnification.<br> <br />Being a neophyte at posting, please PM me and I can e-mail you a picture of the complete assembly. Mark J.</p> <p> </p><div></div>

  10. <p>I just looked in my assorted camera gear. I have a series VII to 52mm adapter that I purchased in '74. Possibly someone has an older one on their shelf that you could purchase. These were common years ago.</p>
  11. <p>I have two M6's. 0.72 and 0.85 along with two M3's. The DR Summicron I have works on all cameras without any issues. Owned the lens for 40 years and cam has not been ground. I have used the DR without the goggles and with the goggles in close focus mode on all of my M's without any issues. I have seen this mentioned in the past and it apparently affects some, but not all M6's. If it worked before and doesn't now, I would be concerned about the work on the camera.</p>
  12. <p>Paul: Like you, I have enjoyed Leica gear for 40 years and am looking to the future when I will no longer be able to use the gear. I recently purchased a Sony A7, 24MP body. With a Novoflex adapter, I can use ALL of my M and Viso lenses on the body. This evening I put a 90 V2 Summicron head on the Viso III, Bellows II and appropriate adapters. I enjoy the signature of the various lenses and choose based on the desired result. The A7 has been in my hands for 10 days and I haven't shot much, but I enjoy being able to use the full range of M accessories on it. My hands start to shake some, but using the body and boosting the shutter speed and ISO, I can still enjoy taking and viewing photos. Good luck with the future and I hope you continue to post.</p><div></div>
