[Leica] visoflex help

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

Excellent to get the confirmation. I have a bid in on the Bay for an early 
OTZFO without the number markings. It's from the same
seller where I bought the Visoflex.  I love the Bay! Currently well past 200 
items purchased, largely from USA and Australia. The
big dealers like KEH are an excellent resource. For gear coming to here, the 
minimum freight charges can be very high though. 
I'll be sure to post some results once I'm up and running.

Cheers
Hoppy

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
