Thank you very much for your details and tempting explanations, but I think I'm still more interested to chase se?oritas than birds, on the other hand you can be closer with a 28mm. Thanks so much for your details!

I have had one for many years now and I do love using it. Its not a perfect solution, and light metering requires you to put up the mirror etc, but it does work. On the M8 its best to build in a bit of a delay in the shutter to allow the camera time to meter, in the M7 it would be the same, in the M6 you have to put up the mirror and meter with the range finder first. I use and recomment the 65 Elmar: amazing lens for its time and wonderful for close up work. Not easy to find and they were expensive when I bought mine. There are a number of telephotos: I have the 280mm and have some wonderful bird shots done with this. I also use my enlarging lenes on the Visoflex, but with the 65mm they do not get used much any more. Occasionally I will use the bellows: its the best made bellows unit I've ever had.

I don't have any of these lenses, my questions are: 1.- Can I use my other lenses on the Visoflex?. I have only "modern" lenses: Summicron & Summilix 35, Various 50mm, Summilux 75, Summicron 90/2AA & T-E 90/2,8, and the Apo-Telyt 135/3,4. 2.- Which lens do you recommend for macrophotography, IMO the 65 is probably the best. I'm not going to use telephoto. 3.- I suppose that metering through the M6 and later models will be precise Thank you very much in advance for your help, opinions, and infornation Saludos cordiales Luis _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
