Comes as a set (41151) that includes both items, as well as corresponding focusing screen masks. You can also get the focusing screen masks as a separate item (42146). Pretty cool!

Interesting..... if you were to modify a MF camera for Leica lenses, you would need to provide the same lens mount to film plane distance as a Leica camera. AND stuff in a shutter... maybe a shutter in front of the lens? That would work. This is done reasonably often for large format users...... Now, the 135 Hektor, 65 Elmar, and I am told several of the Visoflex lenses will cover 6x6......and THEIR distance from rear of lens to FP is greater,..... so more practical...... I think it was Kit that said the Hasselblad has a gadget to make the format square... I think he meant a gadget to make the FP rectangular.. OTOH, there may be a gadget to limit/cut the FP to 4x4 for 127 sized negs.......
