You can remove the arm on the visoflex which goes over the shutter release
and replace if with on fabricated to fit both. Several years ago, LHSA in I
think 2 different articles addressed this for a CL. I think there were 2
differnet Visos used and 1 on the articles may have been w/ a CLE. I can't
remember just now, and I no longer have the older publications. I use a Viso
II screwmount with adaptor to the CL and M mount for lens. I have been just
lifting the little arm out of the way, setting up the shot, make the reading
and thereafter using the little lever to lift the mirror and then a calbe to
release the shutter. Some day, I'll probably have to get a dual cable
release. I remember from the articles, it would not be too hard to make the
replacement arm from soft metal and it doesn't have to be beautiful. I think
it used a srew/nut arrangement to set the arm/shutter release similar to the
Viso II.

I do like the Viso for Macro work. I have the right angle finder, but would
like to get a chimney since I tend to shoot closer to the ground.
