The OTZFO (16464) was a focusing mount
that only the lens head from the 65, 90,
and 135 (all with removable lens heads)
screwed into.  It acted as the focusing
mount.  Your third generation 35mm
Summicron does not have a removable lens
head.

Tell us what you want to take pictures
of and we can tell you what equipment
you need.

Personally, I used the viso for macro
photography with either the pre-69 50/2
or the 90/4 Elmar lens heads.
Collapsable lenses do not have lens
heads that unscrew.  I also used the
viso with a 200/4 telyt.  I also use the
Bellows II which will focus to infinity
with 65mm and above lenses.
