[Leica] visoflex help

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Thanks Michiel. It seems from my research now that I would need the OTZFO 
universal focusing mount firstly. That would work with the
65, the 90 2.8 Elmar and my 135 4 Tele Elmar.
If I wanted to use the 135 4 Elmar, my earlier 135, I would need the OTSRO 
adaptor as well. Then an OTRPO extension tube if I want
to go closer!
There's a whole new language here for me to assimilate. I really do need to 
track down those Leica brochures. The Hove book may be
an excellent choice. I just got the reprint of the 111c,f,g instructions and 
it is very good for the purpose.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hi,

I guess I have to look it up. Tomorrow evening I have some time.
I'm sure the threads of the TE and the Hektor are different.
Very helpful is the Leica accesoire book made bij Hove. I also have a 
lot of old catalog's which have a wealth of information on theses things.

Cheers,
