Buy one if you can.  I recall looking through one at a store; it was the
VIOOH, I believe though I am sure that there are others on the list who can
elaborate.  The one thing that really struck me was the quality of the
image.  I think it was better than anything else, SLR or rangefinder, that I
have ever seen.  It is "Universal" (I think) becaise you have some control
of the magnification of the image, depending on which lens you are using.
