Pre-Owned - Vintage Leica Leitz DMUOO Adapter Ring Summicron 50mm Lens to Bellows 17672 U

In excellent condition

The Leica DMUOO (also known by the catalog number 17672U) is a vintage adapter ring used in conjunction with a Leica Visoflex system. It allows a vintage 50mm Summicron lens head (specifically the Dual-Range version) to be mounted onto a bellows unit, enabling close-up and macro photography. Key features of the DMUOO adapter: Purpose: The adapter allows a Leica 50mm Summicron lens to focus closer than its standard focusing distance. Compatibility: It is designed to be used with the lens head of a 50mm Summicron, primarily the Dual-Range version. System Integration: The adapter is a component of the larger Visoflex system, which includes a reflex housing and focusing bellows. This system effectively turns a Leica rangefinder into a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera for specialized macro work. Mount: The DMUOO typically has an M39 screw mount, compatible with older Leica screw-mount cameras and accessories. Vintage Status: The "vintage" designation reflects that this is a specialized piece of equipment from an earlier era of Leica photography, highly sought after by collectors and film photography enthusiasts.
