135 f4 Tele-Elmar Wow

Picked up an older T-E with the detachable head so I can use it on the Visoflex. All I can say is wow. Used it this weekend for the first time for some close-up on the Visoflex and outside. Using the twist past the stop technique to call up the 90 framelines it seems like the view is half way between the rangefinder patch and the framelines. The IR cut filter helps with the colors on the close-ups.

Nice thing about the Visoflex system, even without schnecke or bellows in its regular mount, a number of lenses, like this one, come close to1:1. on the Visoflex.

Brightscreen offer a Visoflex screen with engraved framelines for the M8.

I bought one on Ebay as well to use on my M8. Something seems way off with it--I have never been able to get it to focus sharply on anything--it's way, way off. I even mounted it on a tripod, stopped it down to f8 or f11, and shot at 1/125 sec and higher.

 

Someone asked me if serial numbers matched on the two parts of the lens, and they do. Glass is very clean, and it seems to fit into the mount very snuggly.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
