The merest whiff of WD-40 to separate it from its “fused” companion

That's looks logical… but strange  : a Viso I lens with a M adapter is a non-standard combo in terms of flange distance…. no adapter in the market (Fotodiox, Leinox, Metabones… dozens exist..) provides such kind of coupling to some SLR Mount… (they provide adapters for M Mount to some other Mount … but of course implying the usage of a standard M lens made for a M body)…  well, of course if one gets some M to SLR adapter and puts a bellows in the middle…. …  but with a long/heavy lens like this is a damn oddity (the "bellows" speculation has came to my mind because, oddly enough, you can mount the lenshead of the Telyt 280 V3 on the Leitz bellows II... odd also this, but with a reasonable focusing range…)

Anyway… be sure that with proper force/torque you'll find the way to unscrew it… the problem is how to APPLY the needed force (years ago, in such a task, I cut to blood my hand… M bayonet blades ARE blades… )

 

 

Don't forget the jar opener used for canning and pickling.  It is composed of two curved metal rods with a plastic coating and a hinge between them, which makes it good for jars and cameras.  I have used it to detach lenses from cameras, and reattach them.

I have a 200 f4 Telyt that came with an OUBIO, but found to mount it on my CL I needed a TZOON adapter, VISO LTM to M mount, plus the M to L adaptor. The TZOON should work for you with a digital M. The TZOON also works with a 400 Fern Kilar Viso LTM I had.

I guess the OP has found some solution, if not a return, in the year and a half since posting here.
