Another guilty party here. I use Leicaflexes regularly and I like them all
in their different ways. BUT none of them has a waist level finder and I
find the Viso with vertical finder much more satisfactory for prolonged
close up work.

I know Viso looks bizarre (for some this is part of its charm) but it is a
very practical tool. Even wth bellows mounted it is rock solid and the 65mm
Elmar is a dream. I sometimes use Viso + bellows supported by the shoulder
grip from my 560mm Telyt and I get results I can only match with the SL and
macro-Elmar on a tripod.

Not trying to convert anybody, but if you get the chance to try a Visoflex
you may well be pleasantly surprised.

Would Cosina produce a visoflex if we ask nicely?
