The Visoflex is a potent and flexible system which allows a lot of lenses
to be fitted to the RF cameras.  The V lenses, of course, are by now rather
dated.  I shoot regularly with a Viso rig (close-ups with a 4/90 or 4/135
lenshead or Zeiss Luminar on a Bellows, 4/200 and 4.8/280 Telyts either
direct-mount on the Viso or on the Bellows) on my M6 and have no complaints.  

I can't tell the difference between these Leica RF lenses and the newer R
lenses, but I am certain that the R lenses are substantially better
performers optically.  What I have suits my needs.
