You challenge is to "make a Visoflex work" with your listed lenses.  I don't 
know that they will.

For closeup work, a Visoflex works best with:
- 65mm Elmar with the 16464 focusing mount
- bellows and lens heads from the older 90mm f2 Summicron or other lenses.  
I thought there was an adapter to use a 50mm f2 lens head.

Visoflexes also work with:
- R lenses with the adapter 14167 (I think)
- some telephoto lenses made for the Visoflex 

I'm glad you are brave enough to use a Visoflex.  A TTL metered camera such 
as an MP will make exposure setting a breeze (i.e. no tables needed to 
compensate for bellows extension and other factors).

Good luck

.... an MP with  35, 50 and 90mm lenses.  ....
I'm trying to find out what I need to make this intriguing contraption work 
on my MP with my current lenses.
