Dear fellow enthusiasts,
please find attached some Elmar 4/90 examples. Elmars serial number is 103xxxx, previous owner said it's from the early 50ies.
Its a really nice portrait lens, as you can see with these german "Gartenzwerg" 🙂
You can dismantle the lenses head and use it then on a Visoflex as well (with OUAGO adapter) as a 90 mm lens (photo taken with Jupiter 12, aperture 4, distance 1 meter, cropped):
But if using it in combination with a Visoflex without adapter, you have a macro lens then, visit the detail (one of the points) of a "Mallory Dual Point" distributor (aperture 5.6):
The advantage of a Visoflex is, that you can try out what ever you have in your shelves, for example this Helios 44 from a Zenith E camera, which normally works not with a Leica or Epson, but is a fast macro lens on a Visoflex (aperture 4):
The only problem right now: How can make the 90 degree finder working with the Epson? Any ideas or workarounds or guides to make a "finder adapter"?
I appreciate any help concerning this issue.
Cheers, Andreas
