Subject: [Leica] Re: Leica Lens to Hasselblad camera adapter......

I had written:

With the Visoflex lenses, there might be some back-focus issues -- the
optical registration of the PLOOT/Visoflex I is 90.5mm and that of the
later Visoflex II/IIa/III is 68mm, while the optical registration of a
Hasselblad 2000/200 is 74.90mm.  So, a later Visoflex lens (one with an M
bayonet on it) should be able to work with infinity focus so long as a
6.9mm shim is added to the mix.

=================

I got that backwards, of course.  The EARLIER Viso lenses -- those with LTM
-- can be made to work on a 2000/200 with the addition of a 15.6mm spacer.
