BillCB Posted October 22, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I presume a simple extension tube would be needed to be able to mount on the M11 (or other M bodies) if you have the modern Visoflex 2 for framing and focussing. Does anyone know if such a tube exists? Thanks, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 Hi BillCB, Take a look here Using Apo-Telyt lenses designed for Visoflex housing on M11. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jankap Posted October 22, 2023 Share #2 Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Novoflex offers a set of adapters, that can be combined to achieve pictures from infinity to macro. Perhaps this one is an overkill. I remember, that there is a simple adapter from Leitz too. Please look for LEM-VIS. Welcome, dear visitor!

It offers: Visoflex screw mount in and M-bayonet out. OUBIO = 16466M will not work. It is needed to adapt Visoflex LTM lenses to the Visoflex M mount. The lens will fit, but flange distance is wrong if you use it on the Leica M. There are 2 options. Use a Visoflex (vintage) housing with mirror up, which might be a bit awkward. I recommend to use the R-M adapter combined with a Visoflex - R adapter like this: https://wiki.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/14127 All visoflex lenses are not rangefinder coupled so you need the EVF/ LV to focus. https://wiki.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/14167 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if such a tube exists? Thanks, Bill As forum member lct suggests, you are in the wrong chapter. You mention APO corrected lenses for the Viso. There are no APO lenses in the Visoflex system, but there are some for the Leica R system. Perhaps you describe the lenses you possess or want to buy more in detail. In the title of this forum, you find the entry Leica Wiki. You can find the R-lenses (R Lenses x Focal Length) and the Viso lenses (under Visoflex Lenses x Focal Length).

BillCB Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share #8 Posted October 25, 2023 You're right - I don't know why I typed "APO". I just meant Telyt as I used to have one - many years ago! Thanks everyone for your input. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted October 26, 2023 Share #9 Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) The only APO Telyt M lens I know of currently in production is the 135 f3.4. All M lenses can be used with the M11+Viso, but specifically designed for use with it is not how they are described.
