[Leica] Questions about Visoflex III

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Hi Len,

Thanks for your price information, as well your recommendation. I agree your
opinion that the 65 is the more desirable option. Now I'll do my searches...

Kind regards
Luis

Hi Luis,

For your purpose the 65mm macro with the focusing mount is the easiest to
use and will focus to infinity. Expect to pay $400 to $500 US for the pair.
As far as regular M lenses don't forget the Viso housing will be a long
extension tube so the 35mm and 50mm will have the lens so close to the
subject it will be pretty much unusable. All of the lenses with removable
heads require the bellows. And as Michiel mentioned take meter readings with
the mirror up. I have many adapters, bellows and lens heads but find I go
for the 65mm first.

Best Regards,
Len
