Hello Pico, That may not be a good idea until we know WHICH lenses we have here. There are some "M" lenses that might be damaged if someone tries to unscrew them if that person does not know the appropriate parameters for those lenses. This is why I asked "which" lens or lenses we are discussing here. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Hi Michael Geschlecht, Take a look here Visoflex question. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Michael Geschlecht Posted November 20, 2018 Share #42 Posted November 20, 2018 Hello jaeger, It would appear that we have crossing Posts. Not a problem. Both of the lenses that you mentioned do NOT unscrew. More to follow. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90 cron APO is terribly tight on V3 mount. It's no joke... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Again jaeger, The 2 lenses that you have are NOT designed to come apart. Sometimes a lens is tight when you try to attach it to a Visoflex, or sometimes also when you try to attach it to another "M" camera. I will have to continue tomorrow because I will "turn into a pumpkin" in a few minutes. Don't worry. We can deal with this & do something.

david strachan Posted November 20, 2018 Share #46 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Neither lens will work Jaeger. Have a study of the schematics i previously posted. They are the only lenses which will work on the Visoflex. Often these lenses can be bought cheaply, and perform very well. Of course you'll need the adapters too. ...

Do you mean don't try to fit a 90mm APO on the Visoflex? If it was already in how do you not unscrewing to separate them, I'm so confused... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted November 20, 2018 Share #50 Posted November 20, 2018 Jaeger did you read my reference link? Visoflex is a study in itself. Please do a bit more research. ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lm_user Posted November 20, 2018 Share #51 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Jaeger. You have to understand that only lenses designed for the visoflex will work and focus to infinity. All of these are longer focal lengths with 65mm being the shortest Some lenses - the 90mm elmar for example have a removable lens head that can be placed on either a rangefinder focus mount or visoflex focus mount. The visoflex foxus mount is 41mm shorter to account for the thickness of the visiflex. (See photo - head in front with viso mount on left and rangefinder mount on right Welcome, dear visitor!

lm_user Posted November 20, 2018 Share #53 Posted November 20, 2018 A disappointing corollary to this is that R lenses cannot focus to infinity with the visoflex. This leaves only the older visoflex lenses for use. Visoflex lenses can be used and focys to infinity. on R cameras with an adapter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
