But why do you prefer it to the Visoflex III? I only use Leica M bodies with film. I noticed one drawback of the Viso II when using it on M6: once I had focussed properly I couldn't lift the mirror to use the light meter of the M6. With the III I often raise the mirror to measure the light after focusing. Lex Lex, I prefer it because of the ease of using the manual mirror control to prevent mirror shake and/or metering on the Viso II, compared to having to twiddle the often very stiff rotary control on the Visoflex III. A half press on a cable release should swing the mirror up. This works much better with a cable release onto the Viso than with the release arm, as the amount of pressure to get the mirror to release without releasing the shutter is quite difficult to control. I have just tried it with my Viso II and a cable release works perfectly for this. Wilson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandro Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share #22 Posted May 14, 2021 Thanks Wilson, I am going to try this as well. I wasn't aware of that possibility. Lex Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
