[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear LUG folk, I have now received my Visoflex II. Right now I have the Tele Elmar f4 135 & the Elmar f4 135. The Tele Elmar optical cell fits directly into the universal focusing tube (OTZFO). The Elmar optical cell fits with the OTRSO and goes closer with the OTRPO. This will be fine to have a play although I can see that a 65 or 90 would be great. I have the Visoflex III 4x Magnifier (OTXBO) which gives good clearance on my M7. Now here's the big challenge. I don't have instructions as yet, but I gather that the movable arm is designed to trip the mirror return before it releases the shutter. Despite the adjustable thread on the shutter release stud, I cannot get the arm to rotate downwards sufficiently to lock into its operating position. Has anyone else fitted the visoflex II to an M7. I suspect that the body height is the problem regarding the arm movement. DANG! There's another moment when I deeply regret selling my M3. I'd be very happy to be proved wrong here. Any advice would be appreciated.
