The 400 f6.8 is a bayonet mount lens that attaches directly to the visoflex 2 or 3 with no adapter. It will not have infinity focus with a visoflex 1 or the mounting tubes. The tube for LTM cameras originates from 1940 (TZOON, replaced by TZFOO/14023 in 1956) and the tube for the M cameras originates from 1956 (TXBOO/14024); all well before the visoflex 2 became available. The 200/4.5 and the 200/4 lenses were LTM lenses that required the OUBIO to mount on the visoflex 2 or 3.
