Mike there was a version of a Telyt (f/5) 400mm made that would work with
the Visoflex and one @ f/5.6. There were Telyt V versions of the f/6.8 400mm
and 560mm as well. As far as I know the Telyt R versions won't fit although
optically similar. Unless the later lenses have a removable optical unit, I
don't think that you can't use them. As far as I know your 100mm Macro
Elmarit won't fit either. Sorry I've never handled any of these; someone
will step up and tell you if I am wrong.




Cheers
