[Leica] visoflex help

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hoppy,

Now you're getting it right. The OTZFO and the 16464 are the same  
thing. My adapter is actually marked 16464K. My 65mm/3.5 and 135mm/4  
Tele-Elmar (M mount) fit this adapter. My 13.5cm/4.5 Hektor (LTM)  
does not fit this adapter. That's all you should be concerned with  
for now. KEH has the OTZFO (16464), 3 of them, from $79 for EX to  
$126 EX with box. I never buy from E-bay so I don't know what you'll  
find there.

Good Luck,
Len
