ryee3 Posted January 30, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) What attachment(s) do I need to use my Telyt 280mm f4.8 on a Visoflex III? Thanks for your help. I am not sure which version of the Telyt I have but the serial number is 21235xx Thanks for your help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Hi ryee3, Take a look here 280mm f4.8 and Visoflex on M8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
k-hawinkler Posted January 31, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2011 For a picture of version 1, 2, and 3 see http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/1525611-post22.html. Version 3 attaches to the Visoflex III directly. Version 2 needs a 16466. Your Telyt seems to be a version 2 from 1965. K-H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryee3 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks for the information. I have the front portion of the 280mm lens which appears to be version 2. I also have the back portion ie 16466M. I also have the adapter 14020 but it doesn't fit the 280mm lens. I am missing some adapter which is the middle portion that is shown in JC Braconi's photos in the link you provided. What is this portion that I am missing and any recommendation where to find this missing piece. Thanks:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted January 31, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2011 Do you have the focusing mount with the 280, or just the lens head? (I'm not certain it has a removable head, but if you've got the 16466 and the optics, that's about the only part that could come in between.) Maybe you could post a picture of what you've got? That way the experts can tell you quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted January 31, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2011 Howard, I agree the focusing mount seems to be missing. Best, K-H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryee3 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted January 31, 2011 I must only have the lens head and not the focusing mount. The lens head came from a Televit-R. Does anyone know how I can obtain the focusing portion for this lens? Thanks to everyone for confirming this missing piece. I am afraid I read on a previous post that this part is very rare and difficult to obtain. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted January 31, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 31, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you search on keh.com for VISO you find they have right now two 280/4.8 Telyt's for sale for a few hundred $s each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted January 31, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 31, 2011 There was also a Televit for Visoflex IIRC. Maybe--not sure here--there might be an adapter to put the lens head on one of the Visoflex bellows units. Good luck in your search! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-hawinkler Posted January 31, 2011 Share #11 Posted January 31, 2011 Karl-Heinz, I nominate you as the forum's Chief Viso Specialist! Howard, Thanks for your vote of confidence. However, there is no way I can catch up with luigi bertolotti or jc_braconi in historic understanding of any Leitz/Leica technology. In fact, I rely completely on their knowledge. All I can do is buy these weird sounding adapters and try them out. The adapters are typically not that expensive but prices have been going up lately and I would like to get a complete set before these adapters become unaffordable for me. Best, K-H.

farnz Posted February 3, 2011 Share #12 Posted February 3, 2011 ... I also have the adapter 14020 but it doesn't fit the 280mm lens. ... Unfortunately it won't because the 14020 (MOOSP) is the close-focus adaptor for the 200 mm f/4 Telyt-V. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to look at posts #143 and #144 of http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m9-forum/124030-leica-m9-visioflex-iii-experiences-8.html. You are correct that the 14020 (MOOSP) is the close-focus adaptor for the 200 mm f/4 Telyt-V. However, I believe it also is the close-focus adaptor for the 280 mm f/4.8 v2 Telyt. As ryee3 seems to be missing the focus mount for his lens head, the adapter 14020 wouldn't do him any good. I agree. BTW, 280 mm f/4.8 v3 uses 16469 as close-focus adaptor and its lens head attaches to the Bellows II directly without any adaptor. With adapter 16598 ryee3 could attach his 280 mm f/4.8 v2 lens head to a Bellows II + Visoflex III + M8 and get at least some macro use out of it. Best, K-H.

K-H, Thanks very much for the link - very interesting. I don't venture into the M9 forum much so hadn't seen it. I couldn't find any evidence that the MOOSP works with the 280/4.8 v2 - I don't have one so I can't try it. Hove only refers to the 200/4 but I finally found a reference in "Leica Instructions for Use of Reproduction Devices Including Visoflexes and Bellows etc". It confirms that the MOOSP is compatible with the 280/4.8 code number 11912, which is the second screwmount version, (assuming that the 11901 lens head only was the first version). Thanks, Pete.

Hi Pete, Many thanks for your confirming feedback. Except for the Telyt 560/6.8 I have collected all the other items mentioned in http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/1596234-post135.html and http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/1597450-post143.html. I tried out all possible combinations to make some sense of it. The table in http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/1597450-post143.html displays most but not all the gear and certainly can be enlarged with additional useful configurations. Best, K-H.

In the meantime, the above cited proposal has been discussed elsewhere. My (and others') conclusion is that I would NOT recommand to screw the head of the Telyt 280/4,8 v.3 directly into the bellows 2. Please carefully check the links below with respect to the Telyt 280/4,8 v.3 and the bellows (before trying anything): in English (post #129 ff): http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-collectors-historica/151501-bellows-ii-16598j-280mm-telyt-7.html in German (posts #10-15): http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-sammler-historica/167690-frage-zum-4-8-280mit-adapter.html Best regards, Telyt2003 PS: My above post #16 was activated (became visible in June) long after it was submitted (posted in Febr.)
