I shot with it but it was so long ago, anad I never compared it to the later lens. I do not remember whether the mirror in the Viso I cut off the image, but I do know Leica made a separate finder for that lens which fit into the "flash" shoe on the side of the Viso. I'm guessing that with the right combination of adaptors and some trial-and-error one could use it on a Viso II/III, but again it's been so long since I've had that lens I'm vague on those details. At the time I had that lens I was already shooting a Nikon F so that was where 99% of my over-135mm work was.
