Leslie22 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share #9 Posted March 11, 2023 Live view was on ……. No question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie22 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share #10 Posted March 11, 2023 Further to my last comment ……. The Screen will turn off when your eye or hand goes to the viso , and turn back on when removed , so “it knows” the viso is there but no image in viso finder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted March 11, 2023 Share #11 Posted March 11, 2023 Leslie22, The Visoflex 2 has been known to malfunction. If you bought it recently, the Leica Store in Sydney should swap it out for a new one, no questions asked. I suggest you take both cameras with you to the store and see if they can replicate the malfunction. Based on my experience, Leica does not repair the finders, they simply replace them. If the store doesn't want to oblige you with a swap, then I would call Leica Australia in Melbourne and discuss the issue with them. They are normally very helpful. r/ Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie22 Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share #13 Posted March 12, 2023 Hi to all Just to clear up any confusion. Both M11 & M10 Mon have the latest firmware , both were in Live mode. On the M11 the camera "knew" the visa was attached as the rear screen went black each time I put my eye to the Visa viewfinder. No response at all on the Mono As I said earlier the Visa worked perfectly on the M11 at the Sydney Leica shop ? My conclusion is (I may be wrong) that the problem lies with the Visoflex ..... perhaps the contacts? The problem for me is that I'm shortly going on a longish trip to Europe and don't want to risk sending my M11 to Leica as they suggested , last time it took three months. Hope this clears up any confusion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 12, 2023 Share #14 Posted March 12, 2023 If you are in Europe you can walk in at Leica and cut out the three months, which is the average Internet complaint time but not the actual average turnaround time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
