Evidently the chap is looking to purchase one for extreme close-up work (about 1/2 the cost of a VISO III, so says he, and he doesn't need the instant-return mirror function) and wonders if there will be enough clearance for the extra 2mm of the as-yet-unavailable M6TTL which he expects to purchase at some point. My VISO is a III (I thought it was a II but I was mistaken..hadn't had it out in a bit!) so I couldn't give a proper answer. So, if someone out there happens to actually own a VISO II, might they be so kind as to mount it up and check the clearance with the top plate? For reference, the thickness of two Canadian (or American also I will assume) pennies is nearly 3mm and that would be just sufficient. Thanks loads.
