Subject: [Leica] M2 & Viso 3

Yesterday I got an offer I could not refuse. A near mint 1959 M2 with
Visoflex 3 + 16464 universal focusing ring and 16471 close focusing ring.
Price $387. I have already an answer for my wife when she asks why I need
another M2: -Well, you see darling, this one has no self-timer... (Only
joking, she knows me too well!)

I have not touched a Viso for many years. I can use the 16464 with my old
Elmar 90/2,8 lens head. My questions to the group are:
- -The charts say that the Tele-Elmar 135/4 can be used with the 16464. Can I
also use the 135 Hector or the older type Elmar 135?

- -Is anybody using the Telyt 200/4? Is it worth looking for? (I might use it
for portraits)

- -Any propositions about any different gear I could be looking for besides
the obvious Elmar 65/3,5?

Merry Christmas!
