Allow me to return to my 5-year accustomed role as the List Curmudgeon. Others are much kinder than I am, and more genial. Tina is the List Goddess and is kind and charitable. No one has ever accused me of either! Yes, if you've not used a Viso, then you ARE making a fool of yourself. >>The Viso offers infinity focus, of course, > >But only with lenses made for Viso use, right? >So it will not work with lenses made the last 20 something years. Excuse me? It will work with any lens allowing a back-focus of 62.5mm for the Viso II/IIa/III. Lenses such as Kilfitt, Novoflex or Questar. And there are a slew of others. >Does it really give VF meter LEDS in the Viso VF? >I would think that You have to use mirror lock-up and check the metering in >the rangefinder VF. Sure. So what? Is your hand broken? Might be a problem then. Best, Marc PS: NOTE: Old-Timers: I WAS gentle on this noviatiate. I cannot promise to be so gentle in the future!
