I'm butting in: 
clunky but fun perhaps. doable?
Less clunky than supporting two camera systems perhaps. I think thats a strong possibility.
I plan on getting into Visoflex. It seems workable to me.
All those mirror options seem real intriguing to me.

Have you shot any film with the Viso B.D.? I plan on it. It seems to be it could

I'd like to put my old Nikons to permanent rest.
