Not quite.....

The Visoflex III has a doo-jiggey that allows mounting to the camera
directly with a rotating M mount.  No dismount of the finder.

Using the Visoflex II requires 2 things.. the later square eye finder Viso
prism... this is a must.....    and you remove the prism to bayonet the
Visoflex onto the body.  Then remount the prism.

Viso III = quick return mirror, Visoflex II has a manually set mirror reset.

BTW,  these comments for the M8 or M9.....

Most of my flower shots were taken with a Viso III, Bellows II and a 1960
135mm Elmar.

If you go for the right angle finder then you need a Viso III version to
clear the body on an M9.
