Gads.

The Visoflex converts the M into a rather primitive, though superbly
engineered, SLR.  The early versions (PLOOT/Visoflex I) have one set of
rules, the II/IIa/III another.

You can hand-hold the II/IIa/III with all lenses which an SLR would allow.
10% less for the PLOOT/Visoflex I.

Visoflex units are common and cost little.  Any M owner really needs one.
