JC,

If I may, I will respectfully disagree. The combined thickness of the Visoflex I and the Bellows I is more than the focal distance needed to obtain ininity focus with the 90mm Elmar. The lens heads with the shortest focal length that allowed infinity focus on the Bellows I were the 125mm and 135mm Hektors.

Only the Visoflex II and III, combined with the Bellows II and the 16558 adapter, will allow infinity to 1:1 focusing with the 90mm Elmar's head.

All the best,

Jan
