Got this at a very good price as the seller said the focus ring had issues. The focus ring has a little play-and the screws on the focus ring look like sunken rivets. I was about to try tightening the the focus ring screws, but have not figured out a way yet  .
I took it out for a test run today-and I must say the focus ring is very smooth and the looseness does not seem to be an overwhelming issue.
Thens with adaptations for my camera, so I can focus to infinity.
Sharing some images taken with this lens @ f4.
Best regards

I see one went for sale on the European Ebay-for $469 in the searchable past. Tony I bought mine only because I got it cheaply.

I used to shoot Leica M in the film days. I always had a sneaky suspicion those "visoflex" lenses were good ones, but I never had a visoflex to know (I stuck to classic 35/50/90/135 combo). Looks like I know now:) I take it you are using an adaptor so the visoflex flange distance is taken into account? |

Thanks Tony- and I'm drawing a blank on your Enna with no focus ring and a M 39 mount. Do you have a a few good images of the lens? If you would open a new thread with your images- I bet you will get someone who knows reasonably fast-

These are very easy to adapt to any SLR/DSLR and be able to focus to infinity.
