Third, it's just plain clunky. Eric, While I agree with everything you say, I do have a trick that makes the Viso easier to use than locking up the mirror on almost any SLR but the R8. I have a Viso II; what I normally do is screw the little release button thing up a little farther than you are supposed to, so that it sits a bit above the shutter release. Then, when I go to take the exposure, I press it gently to pop the mirror, wait a beat, then press the release the rest of the way down. You can separatly control the two actions very easily. After the first shot, i usually leave the mirror up while I shoot multiples or bracket, and don't raise it again until I recompose or want to recheck focus or framing. I bet the Viso III makes this much easier. - - Paul
