I have the Tele-Elmar 135, so once I have the adaptor, I can have the first experiments. Even better, I get to indulge my other hobby of poring over the listings in the Bay! Those nineties are cheap as well. Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [Leica] visoflex help Hoppy, The appropriate adaptor is 16464 which will work for: Tele-Elmar 135 f/4 (infin-1:5), Hector and Elmar 135 (infin - 1:5), 90 f/2.8 first version (infin -1:3.3), and 65 f/3.5 (infin -1:2.5). For a 1:2 magnification a longer focal lens will render objects in better proportion. ie, the distance to the lens for 50mm at 1:2 is 6 inch while at 135mm it is 16 inches for the same scale. My personal recommendation would be a first version 90mm f/2.8 with a 16464 mount. Cost less then the 65 and gives nice proportion. Chris At 03:00 AM 2/2/2007, you wrote: >Dear fellow Lug folk.
