I think we're talking about two different adapters.  22228 will focus
a Leica R lens on an M body to infinity - but it's a lot thinner than
a Visoflex.

The other adapter I have is _exactly_ the same size as a Visoflex and
will thus focus Visoflex-mount lenses to infinity.  I think it was
developed as a microscope accessory.
