dkCambridgeshire Posted April 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Posting this here because of the historical expertise (from the expertisia ? ) within this forum as regards Leica/Leitz systems. I have an IFLEX which is similar to a VISO I ... the IFLEX has two swivelling focusing screens and 10x chimney finder and has an M bayonet for the camera and an L39 screw thread at the lens end . It fits my M8.2 very nicely. I've seen and reserved a UXOOR bellows which I believe is a Bellows I ... and this should bolt on to the IFLEX which has the same female ¼" thread in its base as the VISO I. I wish to use the UXOOR with an M mount ... actually intend using PHOTAR and MILAR lenses for which I have dedicated R adaptors ... will attach these to an R to M adaptor ... thus need to mount the R to M adaptor to the UXOOR. So need an M adaptor to fit the UXOOR front end ... is there such an item? I thought it might be the UYCOO which Dennis Laney lists in Leica Collectors Guide (first edition) on page 280 as "interchangeable bayonet adaptor for 50mm f3.5 Elmar" but having sourced one in USA and seen an illustration it does not have a bayonet mount front end. I'm aware that most VISO users are bolting the VISO III to their M8 cameras but I already have the IFLEX and its 10x finder and swivel screens will suit me better for high magnification focusing. Advice re the front end M adaptor will be much appreciated. Thanks dunk Edited April 17, 2009 by dkpeterborough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
