Use your discontinued Leica M Visoflex Lens or Lens head with the same adapter that would mount on a Leica M Visoflex II or III, don't confuse the older Visoflex lenses with the current in production M lenses	Canon EOS Nikon, Leica R -- film or digital SLRs!	$175 Special Order
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, Canon, Leica R, film or digital cameras. Extremely well, these adapters will work beautifully and enable you to combine parts of several camera systems.

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.
