Does anyone have any experience with a similar >combination? Hmm. I believe Novoflex lenses have an optical registration of 10cm, so an adapter would be required for either the PLOOT/Visoflex I or the Novoflex reflex housing, but I am not certain whether the Novoflex housing shares the 62.5mm depth of the PLOOT/Viso I. I'll pull mine (I have both of the Novoflex housings for Leica TM/M and Contax RF, as well as three PLOOT's and both versions of the Visoflex I) to compare them, when I have a chance. The Novoflex lens is quite good, incidentally. The early ones were from Steinheil and the later from Dr Staeble Opticische-Werke, and both types are excellent user lenses.
