Well at one time I had a Viso II but wanted more, and came across a
ALPA 10D with the 50 mm 1.9 makro. I picked that up and then bought
the ALPA to Leicaflex adp. So I could put my visoflex lenses on the
Leicaflex adp and then the ALPA adp. and then mount them on the ALPA 10D
all so I could get stop down slow metering. It works fine just looks
like I have a plumbing project going on. Also picked up a single cam
35mm 2.8 for the old standard Flex and use it with the ALPA adp. so I
have a wide angle lens. Since then I have added a ALPA 6c with the 40mm
2.8 makro and a 24mm 3.5 Angie in black . And after all this was done
what did I find, but a really nice Viso III cheap.....Soooooo now I have
the Viso III and all this ALPA stuff, and then ALPA price's went thru
the roof, none of the stuff I have is real clean anyway. Also went a
little crazy and picked up a Nikon to ALPA adp. but have never bothered
to pick up any Nikon lenses to use on the ALPA.
