If it possible to use 90mm Elmar-C lens with Visoflex scrue mount? Old style Visoflex I.

Thanks for any help!

Sorry... not at all, I think: Elmar C has not a removable lenshead... you must attach it via bayonet mount... which is possible with Viso II (that exists also in screwmount) and Viso III. Anyway, you cannot focus to infinity... Elmar C 90 acts as a macro lens.

(Maybe, but I am not sure, there is the way to attach a bayonet lens to the Bellows I, which in turn attaches to the Visoflex I)

Yes, it has removable head! That why I'm asking.

90 Elmar C with removable lenshead ? Are you sure ? All the Elmars 90 "non C" (i.e. not the black bayonet mount lens for Leica CL) do have a unscrewable lens head, made to fit Visoflex I with proper adapter... but as far as I know this is not true for the Elmar C (btw, I own one)

Are you speaking of THIS lens ?

Yes, it is possible to unscrew the lens part from the focussing part. But the thread does not fit to the Visoflex.

Right, I was not precise... many lenses can indeed be "dismounted", simply for the reason that they were assembled ... but this was not for customer usage.
