Pecole #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 #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 Share this post 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. 1 remik reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remik #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.
