I am looking to use my M6TTL for wildlife photos. Though I know this isn't the ideal use for an M, I can't afford an R system (right now, anyway). My question is can I use the Telyt-R 400mm, 560mm f/6.8 lenses produced between 1970 and 1990 on a Visoflex III attached to the M without any other modification. My "Identifying Leica Lenses" book by Ghester Sartorius states that these two Telyt-R lenses are "*practically* identical" in structure with the Telyt 400 and 560mm f/6.8 lenses, which were made for use specifically with theVisoflex II and III on M series Leicas. It's the *practically* that has me somewhat worried. There is a Telyt-R 560mm f/6.8 on Ebay right now and the seller says it can be used on the M system in conjunction with the Visoflex II or III. I'm interested, but concerned that this statement may not be all that accurate. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA badler@nanospace.com rgacpa@yahoo.com
