I just threaded the optical head from what seems to be a small barrel-like focusing adapter (2 inches long). That barrel or tube -- with a black leather grip at the bottom -- then threads into an M2 bayonet adapter which allows the lens to connect to the M2 -- and to the Visoflex III as well. So, in one possible configuration, I would need the OUAGO/16467 to take the place of the barrel or tube to allow the 90 to connect to the Visoflex, right? In this configuration, would I be limited to close-up work or have focus at infinity? I appreciate your patience..... > Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 19:13:53 -0400 > To: lug at leica-users.org > From: marcsmall at comcast.net > Subject: Re: [Leica] Visoflex III Question > > At 06:37 PM 3/16/2009, Gary Dalton wrote: > > > >The serial # is 836XXX...
