Jem, what is a Novoflex?

Lovely

I assume that 400 means $400 and I forget what GBP means.  I think it
means that I can return it before ten days and get my money back.

But you were not sure that this is the lens I am looking for.  You said:
>I'm pretty certain that my 400/6.8 is the Viso version.

Also, are there any important differences between the R(with M adaptor)
and the M lens?  When I was shopping for a replacement for my Kodak
Retina IIIC a couple years ago you Lugers told me that compromises have
to be made when designing SLR lens vs Rangefinder lens so I went with
the M for this and other reasons.   Actually, now that I think about it,
I guess this lens was designed to be used as a SLR lens so I guess they
would not be any different.   Answered my own question.  Thanks for the
help,   Dale
