Advertisement Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hi luigi bertolotti, Take a look here Over 40 years...and fine looking. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
david werbeloff Posted March 29, 2015 Share #2 Posted March 29, 2015 Hi Luigi, the combo does look very special together. Is the M mount to M mount Visoflex adapter a Leica product? Best wishes, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_g_wolf ✝ Posted March 29, 2015 Share #3 Posted March 29, 2015 Should be made by NOVOFLEX. Best, GEORG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 29, 2015 Share #4 Posted March 29, 2015 Well, given that it has the Novoflex brand written on it.... 16464 on top - nice combo, should give some fine results, the 65 was one of the better Visoflex lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Should be made by NOVOFLEX. Best, GEORG Yes...LEM/VIS version I (version 2 is equivalent, but made with stacked rings) : a very well made and usueful device. The 65 ("new" for me... previously I had only the first Canadian chrome version) seems indeed to be an excellent lens... one of my first taking with it is hereunder... just to show another recent acquisition... (from the buy & sell site of the Forum )... an Elmarit 135 2,8 of the very last series, here next to my very older one (there are 30 years and 1.600.000 numbers around between them) Welcome, dear visitor!

jc_braconi Posted March 29, 2015 Share #6 Posted March 29, 2015 an Elmarit 135 2,8 of the very last series, here next to my very older one (there are 30 years and 1.600.000 numbers around between them) The lenses combo on the last model is far better than the old one, if you want to use a 6 bit code, after market (china) bayonet ring, you will need to turn it on the lathe to remove some thickness on the rear of the ring to adapt to the lens. some picts Welcome, dear visitor!

luigi bertolotti Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for your pictures, JC... but it is already coded (by Van Manen... the seller even included the bill in the packaging.. . which is very well complete,,, original box, and the leather case that I didn't have ) Is that lathe YOURS ? I have some LTMadapters from the same chinese source ((I think... it was YOU that gave me their link...) and they are good, apparently (at least, I coded one for using the Summaron 28... probably, even if the thickness is not exact, it does not appear for a 28 5,6...) A pair of 100% crops do show that the Elmar 65 black is really a very sharp lens : Welcome, dear visitor!

I have this leather case very funny shape ! Yes I gave you the link to china ring maker You mean the LTM 28 ? The 65 is a good lens I agree and easy to use. enjoy your new toys Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted March 29, 2015 Btw, toying with the Elmarit 135, I have just noticed a minor limitation of the LEM/VIS... its front flange (center, in the photo hereunder) is a bit larger the the one of the Viso II/III (left) ... not a problem with most devices (including bellows) , apart... the ZOOEP/16462 focus mount made for the lenshead of Elmarit 135 (and Summicron 90) which cannot fit for its particular shape (at right); not a great issue... is a strange combo... ... just a note for lovers of the complex world of old adapters...
