Re[2]: Telyt-R 400/6.8

     Hi John,
     
      Thank you for your info.  I have the box marked 11960 for R.  I 
     believe that it comes complete with the tube.  Did you mean that 11906 
     for R has the same lens mount as the normal 2 or 3 cam lenses?  It is 
     my belief that it is complete with the tube (11906).  I have the 
     original box and leather case too.  Also the owner said he used it 
     several times on Leicaflex SL.
     
     Thanks,
     David

Hi David:
     
The 400/6.8 was available in two versions - 11960/R; 11966/Viso.  Though 
the same head unit (11903) is used for both part numbers, the mounting tube 
differs.  Visoflex uses a 11905 tube while the R uses 11906.  I believe 
that both tubes were also bundled with the lens as an option.  So it is 
possible that your lens has become separated from the 11906 tube
     
I think you can use your present setup (11905) with the R via adapter 
14167.
