I think they were asking 1000 UK pounds for it, but I already knew I couldn't afford it... What I could afford though was a viso III with magnifier (old one - don't know the version number, but not the later high-eyepoint one) and an extension tube (14646K I think) all for 100 pounds, which seemed a good price to me, and it had a MBG. I also bought a 135 Hektor in truly horrible cosmetic condition, but the glass is OK and I'm hoping to use it on the visoflex if I can work out which adapter to buy. I got a screw-M adapter for it which cost almost as much as the lens! I also got a swing-out polariser after reading the recent posts about them. Setting it to swing out over the viewfinder is an excellent idea. Is there likely to be a vignetting problem using this on a 35 Summicron? Simon.
