[Leica] Visoflex Model Refresher......

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

As mentioned before, see: http://elshaw.tripod.com/, has pictures.

For the M8 or M6TTL, you can't use the Viso II or IIa 4x magnifier; 
you need the one off the Viso III. The II's require that you remove 
_any_ prism when mounting the Viso on the body. You can't use the 
older prisms in any case. You can use the main body of the Viso II or 
IIa. IIa's are very expensive usually.

MDa's can be used with all Viso's.


>I know it has been published here before, but what is the difference (
>practical difference) between the Visoflex II and IIA and III ?  How can one
>spot the difference between the II and the IIA?
>
>Given that I want to use only M6TTL and M8 Leicas, does it make any
>difference which I select?  ( yes, I understand that the III has a taller
>top so it clears the M8 body height so that it can be mounted with the
>finder intact.... the II would require removal of the finder, fit on the
>body, replace the finder....)
>
>Change that to the MDa model.....I can use any of them?
>
>I remember someone writing that the III had a shutter arm that was Longer?
>Shorter? Bent Funny? Than a II, so that it would fit a M6.....  Any truth to
>that one?
>
>How can one be visually spotted over the other without them sitting next to
>each other?
>
>I am getting interested in using the Leica glass in some macro projects....
