The adapter is very thin, you can see the threads for the Leica lens. I would think it requires a lens with the Viso I mount but don't know what the Hassy flange to film distance is. I would think the 90s and 135s would have to be removable head lenses which means you lose the focus mount and have new problems. Since there are Hassy lenses in that range, isn't 80mm a standard Hassy lens?, I don't see those as very interesting. The 280 f/4.8 on 6x6 film must be attractive to some shooters. Anyway, the gentleman selling the adapter can surely answer questions better than me ;-) Marc James Small wrote: > All Leitz/Leica lenses above 90mm will render a satisfactory 6cm by 6cm > image with the possible exception of that converted projection lens, the > 2.5/12.5cn Hektor.
