I saw an old product catalog from Acura that showed some Visoflex style equipment, plus a bellows with tilt and swivel. I think it was fairly old and only showed Thread Mount bodies. Now I may need to go back and study it more closely. No Leica's to be found, but I couldn't resist the two beautiful volumes of the Journals of Lewis and Clark by Biddle for $15. Exploring for Leica's leads to all kinds of discoveries. . .
