Lee S Posted May 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 23, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Considering a visoflex for my M10. I have heard the visoflex has low frame rate and lags. Is its performance the same or worse than live view using the rear LCD screen? Which for me is not great but if visoflex is the same would be tolerable.

Advertisement Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 Hi Lee S, Take a look here Visoflex on M10, slower or same as LCD live view?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Can't answer as impossible to view both at once. We all know the Visoflex dosn't compare well with the best EVF experience, but I find it very useful for mostly static subjects.

So am I right to assume you can’t tell a noticeable difference in live view performance from the Visoflex compared to rear LCD? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic would say they are the same, but I don't know for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted May 23, 2021 Share #5 Posted May 23, 2021 It seems to me that the Visoflex 020 has a lower refresh rate than the LCD of M10R (I did a test moving left and right and the movement in the rear LCD looks smoother). I have not noticed increased lag when compared to LCD. P.S.: While I do not use it all the time, I like Visoflex 020 for more static subjects. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFW2-SCUSA Posted May 23, 2021 Share #6 Posted May 23, 2021 I find the Visoflex useful for my 21 Elmarit and somewhat for the macro-elmar 90. But it's not a great piece of equipment. For what it's worth, Leica Miami has a (or just had) a used one. I'm not sure they are worth the full price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new store in the UK! Is it a Leica boutique selling Leica only, or just an independent dealer. We have less stores now than ever. Tell us where?

Photoworks Posted May 25, 2021 Share #11 Posted May 25, 2021 The lag is about the same. The shutter has to open and send the video signal, this has to happen every time you take a shoot, I find the evf easier to see and focus then the back screen, just the reflection makes it hard. You also gain GPS I often still focus rangefinder and the look at cropping on evf when I use wide angle lenses 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
