MLU is impossible to do without if you're going to cover all the bases in macro and/or long lens work. >> I used to have a VISOFLEX with a rotating prism (made by DAGs famous father). It acted as a beam splitter with no black-out and no vibration. It was too expensive to make & never went into pro- duction but I thing they were used some on motion picture cameras. I also used to have a device that was called a PLOOT that was used (even before the VISO I) by Dr. Paul Wolff at the 1936 Berlin Olympics with the early 20cm Leitz Telyt and it is difficult to imagine how these photographers ever got great pix with these inefficient gadgets - so I guess there is no substitute for talent.***************** ******************Marvin Moss*********************************************
