Will the old visoflex fit on the 'M'?

[alastair_anderson]

<p>I wonder if the old visoflex will fit on the M. I have 65,200,280 and 400 lenses still.</p>

<p>Yes it will. There were two versions of the Visoflex I - screw mount and M mount. I would assume that an adapter could be used with the screw mount version. Infinity focussing will not be available with the 65mm Elmar.</p>

<p>John, thanks for your response. I have the adaptor for focusing the Elmar.</p>

<p>Visoflex 1 won't do 65. Visoflex 2 is compatible but pentaprism viewer is too low for M5, M6ttl and all later M cameras. Visoflex 3 is fully compatible & will even work happily on M9 with auto expposure setting. Its pentaprism will also fit Viso 2.<br>

These units are fairly cheap because the lenses are relatively heavy and the use a little awkward by modern standards.</p>

<p>I'm not too familiar with how the Visoflex works, but wouldn't using the extension adapter with the electronic viewfinder be much more practical?</p>

<p>Or, is the prism attached to the adapter in a way that it can't be bypassed?</p>
