The Visoflex I has a longer optical registration and will not allow the 560/6.8 (or f5.6) to focus to infinity even if he could cobble together adapters to mount it. The 14182 is a 60mm extension tube that fits between the optical head and mounting tube of the 400f6.8/560f6.8 lenses to allow closer focusing (it then will not focus to infinity). You could have the mounting tube cut down and fitted with a LTM mount but it would seem easier and less expensive just to buy the right Viso. The Televit also has a bayonet mount and is designed to work with the shorter optical registration of the Viso II and III. So I guess the short answer is no.
