As some have recently commented here, the 280/4,8 Telyt is a marvelous lens and there are many who believe the 135 Hektor still produces excellent images and use both. But it ain't fun to fiddle with a Visoflex. Put both those lenses on adapters and a Leicaflex or Leica R and you have the best of both: (old) modern glass (!) and relative ease of use.
