Great action shot ! I seem to notice that you too (as myself) do not care of taking a big UVIR filter (supposed it exists) for the Telyt 280... ;)

 

Can't find one! If you know where, please let me know by PM. Thanks!

Telyt 280 has the same filter size than Summarex 85 (E58) : time ago I seem to remember that b+W made an UVIR that size... but did not go further in my search... B+W/Schneider lists A LOT of filters, but some of them can be practically unavailable (hard to obtain and very costly).

True, I am no expert... There are of course adapters to put screw mount lenses on Visoflex II/III, and one can put a bayonet adapter on a Visoflex I. However none of my reference books, mention a factory made Visoflex I with a bayonet mount. There may have been some made, but finding one today would be close to impossible, and quite pointless, as the Visoflex III is quite available.

 

I can look in my Leica Photography collection between 1954 and 1961 to see if a Visoflex I with bayonet mount was mentioned...

 

Please look at my album .

Leica is the gadget hounds dream, and his wallets worst nightmare. This is pretty amazing. I am used to the way the Bellows II fit on the Visoflex III, but this attaches as if it is one unit. Interesting eye piece, 30x if I read it correctly. Just when you think you have it figured out...

Does the Visoflex take X-ray pictures? I'm in a funny mood today and I can't help but to think that the Visoflex looks and sounds like something from a 50's science fiction movie.

 

PS This is only meant to be a joke, so please don't anyone get a Koniption attack over my comment.

I'm thinking that has to be part of the allure to me, it's just so Rube Goldberg that it's irresistible to me. As said above, we love gadgetry;)

Beautiful images.

 

I guess you used the 5x viewer and a Nikon cable to attach the flash?

 

No,I guess I must me a real nerd.... I used the viso viewer to focus ( on tripod obviously) then removed this to fit the SF58, the rest was just timing.....oh, and patience.
