[Leica] Visoflex LTM to M?

[alal at poly.edu (A.Lal)]

I'd advise against the viso 1. It is cumbersome to set up and use and needs 
a different bellows from the Viso 2 and 3.

Many of the lens heads from the 1960's lenses will either not mount easily 
or will not focus to infinity when mounted. Spend the extra bucks and get a 
Viso 2 or 3 with an  M mount.

I've not checked  market prices lately, but you should be able to find a 
complete Viso 2 or 3 with prism and magnifying finder for not too much 
money.
