This lens will go from about 1:1 to infinity. OK, I did it. 65 Elmar and Visoflex II and Bellows II. Also bought an older(I guess) Tele-Elmar 1:4/135. Just starting to figure it all out. Three questions: 1) My newer lens do not appear to fit so I guess I need a adapter. What is the part number of the adapter I require to match fit my one year old 35, 50 and 90mm lens to the Visoflex? 1) What is the Leitz Wetzlar Germany 16596G(not sure about the G, there is something there but it is difficult to read) that came with the set-up for? 2) The view through the horizontal 4x viewfinder is hazy. I think I have cleaned everything that matters and have concluded that the haze is caused by the 4x viewfinder rectangular window that matches with the rectangular window on the top of the Visoflex. If so is it supposed to be hazy instead of clear? If it is supposed to be clear how do I fix it? Thanks for the help. Dale - --- $ dale-reed@worldnet.att.net Seattle, Washington U.S.A. $
