Hi, Marc, Tom, and others;

A minor correction to the below, based on "The Range of Visoflex II Photography" by Ralph Carroll, from "Leica Photography", number 1, 1960:  To connect a 135mm/f4.5 Hektor to a Viso II requires the use of BOTH OTZFO (a "universal focusing mount") and OTSRO; OTSRO alone won't do it.  The
combination is somewhat superior to the other choice of the possibly-mythical ZOOAN <g> and OUBIO in that the former lets you focus from 37 3/8" to infinity, while the latter only does from 59 1/16" to infinity.  OUFRO, by the way, can be used with the ZOOAN/OUBIO combination as an
extention tube.
