[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I recently bought a viso III and a black 65/3.5 Elmar complete with a black 16464 focusing mount, and have a few questions about them. Firstly, all does not appear to be well with the viso, as the mirror will not trigger when it is on the camera. There isn't sufficient space adjustment in the release button to flip the mirror before hitting the camera's shutter release. It works OK off the camera, and in "quiet" mode there is enough room on the camera to flip the mirror, but not in "normal" mode. Is this easily adjustable, or do I have to get used to using "quiet" mode only? The 65 Elmar is in near mint condition with caps and box. I understand these are a little rarer than the chrome versions. Does anyone know how many of these were produced? There is also a 14160 ring screwed into the filter threads on the lens. Does anyone know what that ring is for? It looks like a filter without any glass!? Thanks for any help, and regards to all LUGgers... Simon.
