No
glass elements to degrade image, infinity focusing. Stop down TTL ambient light or
flash metering, as well as stop down AE priority at shooting aperture IF
your particular SLR body allows it. Due to the substantial
extension of the Visoflex lens heads from the camera bodies via the
necessary Leica focusing helical and the Visoflex SLR adapter, there are no
known lens clearance problems with any Viso lens on any SLR. |
OK, Visoflex fans, this is it, the
greatest thing since sliced bread. By mounting your
Viso M system on a modern camera like the Nikon N90s, you can gain features
like 4 fps motordrive, TTL flash metering, sophisticated data back, and
1/250th flash sync -- among others. The advantages you gain depend upon the SLR of
your choice. Shown above are 135/4 Tele-Elmar and 90/2 Summicron
Leica M rangefinder lens heads mounted on the Leica M Bellows II, using the same
Leica adapters used to mount these lens heads onto the Visoflex II or III.
The Visoflex adapter fits between the bellows and SLR body, and is available in
most popular SLR mounts.
With these CameraQuest adapters, you can
replace your Visoflex with your Nikon or Canon film or digital
SLRs. Extremely well, these adapters will work beautifully and enable you to combine
parts of several camera systems.

While all SLR bodies in the above mounts should mount the
adapter and Viso M lenses with helicals, some larger bodies such as the Nikon F5
will not mount on the Bellows II without an extension tube, which may limit focusing
to close ups.
If you are new to Leica and confused by
the terminology, the Visoflex is a discontinued Leica made Reflex
Housing
which converts the Leica M cameras to a SLR. Besides using the lens heads off
various 90, 120, and 135 rangefinder lenses, special lenses were made for it as
well. It is long discontinued. Described on this page is a new adapter not of
Leica manufacturer, which allows the Visoflex M system to be used with other
SLR systems, enabling the photog to combine different camera outfits.
More info and a list of the
various Visoflex lenses can be found at this site.
