As a lawyer you know that usual practice, although not compulsary, is incumbent on the maker to provide parts for their products for years after the product has become obsolete (automobile industry ie). Don't get me wrong, I am the owner of at least 10 Viso's & Ploots & have recently acquired a IIa which not only is rare but is unused in its original boxes & I probably used the LEINIK adapter with the Matsutov, as Questars are pretty but cost about $3000 or more.

The Visoflex III remained in the Leitz Catalogue until '84 and remaining stock lasted three or four years after this. >> ======================================================
