Of course you can use the 55/2.8 Nikkor on your Viso with adapters, but only for relatively close up work. An inexpensive solution is if you own a quality 80/90 enlarging lens such as the Rodenstock, Componon-S, or El-Nikkor. It will probably give you great results for close-ups on your Viso and still focus to infinity. Of course a 50 will also work, but I doubt that setup would focus to infinity. You will need the help of a few adapters-- home made or otherwise. Stephen Gandy
