Pecole Posted November 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Based on the Visoflex I, the Micro-Visoflex I is coded IFLEX and fitted with a revolving disc with two different screens : plain and ground glass, it also has a slightly different magnifier, and no accessory shoe nor strap eyelets.. The Micro-Visoflex III has also interchangeable screens, but they are slid into rails like a "drawer"; its special focusing magnifier has a fat eyepiece. Hello guest!

Sorry, but I forgot to mention that IFLEX could be transformed by Leitz from a normal Visoflex I, in which case it displayed both the accessory shoe and the strap eyelets...and that's clearly the case of the one illustrated from the Fontenelle Collection.

remik Posted August 21, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 21, 2012 Sorry to dig up an old thread, I've just received a Visoflex I- which appears to have been Iflex modified- in that I have the rotating focussing screens, but have eyelets and an accessory shoe as well. Despite my reading- I can't find what the differences in use between the 2 are- ie can I use it just as I would a regular visoflex? Second question- the Leica bellows I picked up is missing the central screw which attaches it to the Viso body- any idea where I can pick one up? Thanks Remi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Remi As far as I understand your description, your "modified" Viso I is exactly the same as the IFLEX I illustrated : mine also has accessory shoe and eyelets. You can definitely use it as a "regular" Viso I. Now the screw for your bellows : I believe I have one somewhere, and if and when I discover it, it will be my pleasure to offer it to you. remik 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

remik Posted August 21, 2012 Share #7 Posted August 21, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the tips guys, I was trying to determine what makes the micro-visoflex different to the regular visoflex, ie is it just the rotating focussing screen but otherwise exactly the same? I presume that doesn't affect the magnification of the picture etc What is the purpose of the interchangeable screens? Thanks also for the tripod screw if it shows up!

Remi The 2 screens are for different light incoming through the lenses used with a bellows or reproduction device.
