Well, it isn't "impossible", I guess, but he will lack infinity focus, as
the PLOOT & Visoflex I have a depth of 62.5mm, while that of the Visoflex
II, IIa, and III is 40mm.  That extra 22.5mm will turn the Telyt into a
grand close-up lens with an incredibly narrow depth of field!

He can pick up a Visoflex II or III for a pittance, and even the IIa's
aren't all that much.
