YMMV... auto diaphragm lenses with appropriate bellows etc. are a joy to use
in Macro work.  You will not get that from any Visoflex products.  And this
is why I say that SLR's are made for ease of use ( convenience..... George)
for macro work.  

OTOH, buy a Vosoflex III , take apart your handy dandy 90 Elmar and try it
out with your M8..... see if you like working this way.  Only you can really
tell if you are of the constitution to enjoy taking pictures with a
Visoflex.

Remember to stop down just before you take the picture..... or use it wide
open and face the DOF consequences....!

I found it as easy to use as my Nikon 
FG and Micro nikkor set-up.
