Visoflex M-39 on Leica M mount?

[cleo7613]

Hi
did a quick search but found no answers...
Can I use an older Visoflex M-39 on an M series body using an M-39 to M lens adapter? Will the focussing be correct?
thanks for your help.

Carl - no reason why not - the lens adaptors work fine when mounted directly on a lens and so the distance to film plane is taken care of, the visoflex focussing takes care of the rest.
If you are still in doubt are you able to run a quick text ?

You can use the screw to M adapter but the shutter release arm will not line up properly with the shutter button.
