So, Leitz still considers the >Visoflex a practical approach and touts it today, do they? "Leitz"? Bob, I had to be the one to inform you, but "Leitz" ceased to have an involvement in Leica cameras a decade back. It's now "Leica GMBH". In any event, Leitz killed the Visoflex in '84 due to the perceived inroads it made in their then-shaky R sales. As another poster succinctly noted, a Leica rangefinder camera with a Viso becomes an SLR but there is no bloody way short of massive surgery to improve an R camera into an SLR.
