Hello,
I have both a Visoflex 11 & 111. Recently I picked up a 400 6.8 Telyt. I have an MP.
My question is; Is there any way to use the instant return mirror feature of the Viso 111, and take meter readings with the built in meter. I somehow think with an MP, no, but with an M7 and the "A" arperture priority setting, it might be possible.
Flipping the meter up to take a reading, then flipping it down relegates me to a tripod. When I have used the Telyt on a tripod, the Viso 11 seemed easier to flip the mirror down, and up. The 111, although nicer in many respects, is slower to operate the mirror.
Sorry to go on, but I want to use the Telyt, and want to meter from the camera.
Any suggestions?

thank you
Rafael
