I was thinking of the Viso II as the Viso III was not made in LTM and as you know - I am a collector of the early LTMs. Even though the Viso III had instant return mirror, I no longer was using a Visoflex in favor of the (excuse the word) Nikon SLRs. My apologies to all - as this is the first error my PC has made all day - and it suffers from Alzheimers while as Eric would say "I don't suffer - I enjoy it".

The Visoflex continued in production until at least 1980: the Navy had a final military production batch run in the late 1970's, the ones which were surplused a decade later and which have kept the III prices so low. >>
