dennersten Posted May 8, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) So now i got a MD and a Visoflex I. After some googling i gave up. Visoflex is to confusing, it seems to be 1000 adapters etc. So my question to you is: what kind of adapter do i need to put them together ? And have somebody found a good guide to Visoflex on the net? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted May 8, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2008 Try a search here : Camera Manuals Online or here Leica camera instruction manuals, leicaflex camera instruction manual You find many old manuals and catalogs. And if you specify which kind of lenses you wish to use, many of us can give you some detalided info about adapters, codes etc. But... just a question... why a Visoflex I ? Visoflex II/III are a lot more easy to use, operate, and also easier to find the right accessories. I think the only environment in which Viso I and Viso II/III are not too different in use with a Leica M body is macro photo with bellows... even if Viso II/III have a richer accessory set. With long tele lenses, Viso I is frankly terrible to use... almost impossible without a tripod or at least a monopod. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was lying there and it was very cheap. I have been really hardly bitten by the collectionbug past year. I have one M8 with 5 modern lenses but i always drag one old camera and lens with me. So my idea now is to build a small collection with contemporary utilites for my Leicas. What i want to do is some Macro work, and i guess thats fine with using it on a tripod. /HD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
