Mix and matching within the Visoflex system is a lot of fun. I love using the Bellows II. I've go quite a few Leica adapters and lens heads that work just great. I'm always amazed at the quality of the old LTM lenses when used for close up work. I also find I use the Visoflex more since I got the M8. Works like a champ.
