I want to do the same thing.
Maybe the ZOOAN was only for the PLOOT and Visio I?  The Visio II is 40mm, while the Visio I and PLOOT was 62.5mm.  I think we need an OTZFO & OTSRO.  Anyway, Marvin Moss knows all about this stuff.

I have something which I thought was a ZOOAN short focusing mount to
attach a Hektor 135/f4.5 screw-mount lens to an OUBLIO and then a
Visoflex II.  However, the combination wasn't focusing to infinity, so
(based on conversations on this list) it seemed that I was wrong, and
that it is actually a focusing mount for a Focaslide.  Earlier this week
I bought a used item via mail order that was supposed to be a ZOOAN; it
is IDENTICAL to the unit I have.

Does someone out there have a ZOOAN?  Can you tell me how long it is
when focused to infinity?  These units are both 49mm long, which seems
to be roughly 15mm TOO long (based on comparing the combination of Viso
II, OUBLIO, and "ZOOAN" to the length of the long focusing mount.
