Jim - you know as well as I do, that the Visoflex was being phased
out at the same time that Leitz began production of the Leicaflex(1964).
The Viso which originally was designed to be used with the long lenses
past 135mm that couldn't be used with a conventional RF Leica or for
the photog. that either couldn't afford or didn't want to buy 2 cameras.
The 65/3.5 Elmar is the shotest lens that can be used on the Viso
and is quite desirable as it can focus from infinity to 1:1 (same size).
