Also there appear to have been variations within the Visoflex II during
production. The one I have here does NOT work with the M7/8/9 (disregarding
the finder) as the shutter release arm is the wrong shape/height.
Others have reported that the examples they own do work.
I recommend just getting the Visoflex III. A little patience on eBay should
provide one at a reasonble price.

Cheers
Geoff
