Howdy and thanks for taking a look.

A few years back I stumbled into this unique little corner of Leica history and ended up building out a surprisingly complete Visoflex telephoto setup. It’s a quirky, almost forgotten system, but an incredibly fun and capable one, especially if you enjoy vintage glass with real character.

Included in this lot:
Leica Telyt 560mm f/6.8
Leica Telyt 400mm f/6.8
Leica Black 65mm f/3.5 Elmar (Visoflex)
Leica Visoflex II body

Also included:
Custom soft case for the 560mm
Original Leitz New York leather hard case for the 400mm
“Gun” mount for the 400mm (probably don't use this in public lol)
Visoflex to R mount adapter
Visoflex and R mount tube adapters for Telyt lenses
Macro adapter for the 65mm

Condition:
All lenses are in fair to good vintage condition and fully usable. I’ve personally shot with this setup on both a Leica M240 and Leica M2, and it produces some really unique, satisfying results. Happy to provide sample images upon request.

This is a complete, ready-to-use Visoflex system. Pieces like this don’t often come together in one package.

If you’ve been curious about Leica’s more experimental side, or want a distinctive super-telephoto setup this is it.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

It seems like you listed the 560mm and 400mm as f/5.6 but the front of the lenses say f/6.8, which is an easy error to make as there were f/5.6 versions of both too.

I have that 65mm Elmar and it is a real overlooked gem of a lens. Gorgeous rendering at any distance.

So tempting. I shot with one of these 560 for years adapted to a Canon DSLR and got really good results.
