The 65mm/3.5 Elmar requires adapter 16464 (termed OTZFO) to connect to a Visoflex 3, they state on page 68, although I hear that it fits the 2 and 1 also. It would appear that the 135mm/4.0 Tele-Elmar can be screwed-apart to allow the "lens" to be coupled with the same OTZFO adapter to the Visoflex 3 and perhaps others. If you are looking for a 75mm, why not the new ?2.5 Summarit (http:// en.leica-camera.com/photography/m_system/lenses/), if you can miss the half stop; much cheaper too! Success with the search.
