jim_cain Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 This lens was made in Canada and seems to be specific to the Visoflex housing. What distinction does it have? A review of Google seems to say that the price is $800 with no takers. Ok, someone is trying to sell me one. Reluctant.Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajabbi Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Pluses: Wide open it will glamorize you "old Maid" Aunt. Stopped down it will give you outstanding sharpness.Minus's: heavy as "H". Must be used on the Visoflex in the M system(best with a sturdy tripod). Can be adapted to an "R" but the weight will greatly affect the balance hand-held.I LOVE IT!!If it is in fine condition, with mint glass, $800.00 is a decent price.

jerry cabluck Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I bought/rather my brother bought one for me in Pittsburgh around 10 years ago for 40.00 in excellent condition. I played with it wide open great!! Nice head shot lens. Nice lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_soletsky1 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 the lens has a fascinating history which is discussed by Jim Lager in his books. It really is a projection lens of about 120mm focal length and used in such a mount by some until Leitz actually made it in a real mount with focussing and marked it correctly at first and finally settled on 125mm. Made first in Germany and later in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
