I think that the point is not modernity or convenience - the point is that with a Leica rangefinder, Visoflex and approppriate lenses you can do anything a SLR can do - if you have the requisite skills, that is. Nobody says that is easy but it can be done. OTOH Visoflex photography - like single malt whisky - is an acquired taste many people choose not to acquire. All the best!
