I just picked up an Accura III reflex housing with a Sun 135mm F3.8 telephoto lens, and an extra finder prism on eBay (not too expensive). Here are the photos of it on my Leotax S:

The Sun lens is a LTM non-rangefinder coupled lens with a backfocus long enough so that it focuses to infinity when used on the housing. Does anyone know if there are other lenses around that can do this in LTM? Would any of the Leica Telyt telephotos work perhaps with an adapter of some sort?
The setup also came with an extra finder which does not fit on the reflex housing, although it has a bayonet-like mount similar to the one that does (slighty larger diameter). Here are two photos of that:

Does anyone understand what this piece is for? It is also labeled Accura III.
