[Leica] Visoflex_less Experiment

[leicam4pro at yahoo.com (John Biava)]

I have been using Leica lenses on the Nikons for years.  The only problem is 
remembering to stop down.... {8o)
   
  I have two adapters for M to Nikon F and bought the shortmounts for 
several of the lens heads:
   
  65 mm. ( the later black one )
  90 mm. Elmar
  90mm. Summicron
  135 mm. Elmar
  135 mm. Elmarit
   
  and 
   
  180 mm. ?2.8 Tele-Elmarit ( the original Viso lens ).
  200 mm. ?4.0
   
  Using the Leicas is often fun, but I do not disparage the quality of 
Nikkor optics.
   
  The 50s will not outperform a Micro Nikkor for close-up work.

  This is an experiment I just thought of this morning. I have a pretty 
good assortment of Visoflex stuff and thought I might have enough 
stuff to use my Canon 20D in place of the Visoflex housing.

Here is the photo.

And here is the photo of what it was taken with.

For those of you who are interested this is the equipment.


20D -> Novoflex EOS to R adapter -> Leica R to Viso adapter -> 
Bellows II -> UOOYW adapter -> UOOVH adapter -> 135mm Hektor lens head.

This setup focuses from macro to infinity. It will also accept the 
65mm Elmar and Universal Focusing mount (bellows not needed).
