I have not followed this in detail, and I did not read what the intended
application is, but I think , if it has not already been mentioned, that it
should be pointed out....

The Visoflex on the M cameras, is, more or less, a close up device.  
Yes, there are some lenses that with an adapter, will work to infinity ( the
90, the 135) and some were designed to work on the Visoflex (like the 200+mm
lenses) at infinity, but really, it is primarily a close up tool....for use
with lenses less than 200mm..... with the exceptions noted and more that I
have forgotten....

Now, before someone gets all bent out of shape..... YMMV.

Now, is it your desire to shoot close up stuff?  Or is this a substitute for
a SLR-M camera with lenses like the 50 Summicron, etc......?
