Hi Alastair, yes the 65 would appear to be perfect. Sadly many others seem 
to think so as well and the prices I've seen so far are
very high. I am shopping for the bellows 2 unit as well.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy, what you need is the focusing mount and the 65 elmar: the  
sweetest little Visoflex set up available IMHO. The front lenes from  
the 135 and I think the 90 are also very handy, but I would need to  
get out the books to check those ones. A bellows unit is also nice:  
wonderfully made.


Cheers
