a couple of Leitz rings to fit lenses to bellows c1960
Toronto. Who can forget comedian Lily Tomlin and her hilarious send up of the telephone company?
Leitz often separated the lens assembly from the focussing mount. To use the lens on the bellows, a ring would connect the lens (or lens head) to the front of the bellows.
At the rear, a Visoflex mirror box would join the camera body to the bellows allowing the assembly to be focussed and framed. Depending on the choice of ring/lens or lens head, the bellows could focus very close or to infinity.
In the photo at left, the ring on the right connects the 9cm f/2 lens head to the bellows II while the ring on the left connects any M camera lens – focussing mount and all to the bellows II.
