============================================================
1. Original set ( early '60s):
400 mm. f/5.6 Telyt lens head - fits special focusing
mount.
560 mm. f/5.6 Telyt lens head - ditto, same mount
Telyt focusing mount and diaphragm for above.
2. Second version ( introduced for Leicaflex ):
Only difference is focusing mount is made to fit a
Leicaflex. Usual problems with cams for later
cameras.
3. The Viso set will fit a 'flex with proper adapter.
There was one made for the 'flex and another for SL
4. Leicaflex focusing mounts will NOT adapt to Visoflex.
5. Telyt "trombone" set(s):
Telyt 400 mm. f/6.8 lens head
Telyt 560 mm. f/6.8 lens head
Focusing mount for above.
6. None of the f/6.8 lens heads will fit the earlier
focusing mounts and vice versa.
7. Viso set will fit 'flexes with proper adapter.
'flex sets eill NOT adapt to Visoflex.
8. Both sets use preset aperture and stop-down metering
on SL and later cameras.
