This has to do with the fact that the Viso system is for 65mm and up, and serious macro stuff. The optics are designed for longer lenses, and no compromises had to be made for short focal lengths. Also, the prism is huge, and no compromises were made. The lenses snap into focus with the best of SLR finders. It is possible to put newer screens in Viso's; Beattie made one that fit. That brightened the view, but I didn't feel it improved the focussing accuracy for me.
