I do prefer the Viso II for its more compact proportions, even though you need to reset the mirror between shots. Just a flick of the finger. Those with M5's or M6-TTL's would need at least the prism from a Viso III because the II prism won't clear the taller bodies. The optics made for the Viso's are really great, at least the ones I've tried: 200, 280, 400. The 400 is very fast focusing and very light weight. The Viso itself, with a 50 or 90 lens is a quick and dirty macro rig, too. DT
