I wonder if anyone has actually tried this? Not having a Noctilux I've not done that (and obviously the depth of field would present focussing problems) but I've tried some other big lenses on a CL, at the moment a 20/4 Flektogon with a couple of adapters to make it work and a massive TEWE/MPP zoom finder on the top, it looks completely outrageous! Just the thing for winding up old Leica buffs who think that the name of Leica is sacred... It put me in mind of finding one of those old Benser baseplates for the M-series cameras which took a couple of spare lenses bayoneted onto the bottom of the camera. Never mind 2 sensible smallish lenses, shove on a 400mm Telyt, and also the Viso housing to match! Weird or what! Of course mobility might be somewhat impared, but boy, would you stop the traffic! (Strange thoughts for a drab Friday...) Jem
