My copy of Matheson provides two different ways of using the 135/4.5 Hektor on the Viso II. I'll try and make this as clear as i can. Take a deep breath everybody. The first way seems to be the simplest. Take your 135 lens head and attach it to your 16495/ZOOAN. Follow this by attaching the ZOOAN to a 16466/OUBIO, upon doing this attach to your Viso II, followed by your M and shoot. The second way means using your 135 lens head, attaching it to the 16464/OTZFO, then to your 16472/OTSRO, and then to your 16469/OUFRO, to Viso II, to M. Now, according to the Lager Leica Illustrated Guide III/LLIGIII (sorry, a little leica humour), the ZOOAN is redundant in the case of the Viso II, and you have to use the second method. Is this true? I have just bought a ZOOAN, which is currently in transit, to be able to use this first set-up method. My second question is in regards to the use of the 90mm Elmar on the Viso II. Can i use the lens head from a screwmount 90 Elmar with the Viso II, OUAGO/16467 and OTQNO/16468 set-up? Or do i need an M mount 90 Elmar lens head? Told you to take a deep breath...
