Never tried or thought about it. I've just "tested" it and the lens
dissembles into two parts, but the lens head has a very large thread,
and certainly will not fit any of the "numerous" attachments I have
for the bellows or visoflex. No mention of being able to use it in
the leica literature I have either, so I think its a non-starter.
Great lens in a quirky sort of way
Cheers
