hsw Posted August 5, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone know if this just take standard SLR correction lenses? Or is there a proprietary lens that I have to hunt for on eBay? Thanks, Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Hi hsw, Take a look here Visoflex III Diopter Correction Lens??. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted August 7, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 7, 2007 I seem to remember such a thing existed, but I cannot find it anywhere... Research is needed. Anyway, the straight finder has an adjustable eyepiece like the VisoflexII prism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsw Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted August 7, 2007 Thanks so much for your help Jaap! I'll try to find one of the straight viewfinders. Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 7, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 7, 2007 It is a great tool for static subjects,Henry, but it does switch left and right... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted August 7, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 7, 2007 My recollection is that the Visoflex III angled finder uses the same diopter correction lenses as the Leicaflex SL. You might give Don Goldberg (DAG) a call and see what he has available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest liesevolvo Posted August 9, 2007 Share #9 Posted August 9, 2007 Which camera are You using? If it's not M5 or M8, You can use the angled finder of the Visoflex II. Great - and the reason why I sold my Viso III and kept my Viso II. It is adjustable in a very high range. Excuse my English.

hsw Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted August 9, 2007 Hi Leonard, I'm sure your English is better than my German! I have obtained a Visoflex III to use with my M8. I'm actually quite intrigued by the Rube Goldberg type contraption and all of its accessories but only the Viso II straight 5x finder will work with the M8 & my poor M6 has been shut away for many months now.
