Viso II or III plus bellows II plus bellows adapter 16558 plus 135/4TE optical unit gives you infinity to 23" (1:1.5). Naturally you can use more adapters to get higher magnifications. Go to Gary Elshaw's Viso pages for more info: http://elshaw.tripod.com/ The Tele-Elmar is not considered as good as the Hektor when stopped way down with high magnifications. See the LHSA Viewfinder article on the Hektor by Dick Gilcreast.
