Hi David:

The 400/6.8 was available in two versions - 11960/R; 11966/Viso.  Though
the same head unit (11903) is used for both part numbers, the mounting tube
differs.  Visoflex uses a 11905 tube while the R uses 11906.  I believe
that both tubes were also bundled with the lens as an option.  So it is
possible that your lens has become separated from the 11906 tube

I think you can use your present setup (11905) with the R via adapter
14167.  

Regards,


John Barnabas
