I want to thank all those who replied- I think I got it straight! I have a
VISO I, II, and III! A Plethora of VISOs- which is what you get when you
assemble an outfit from eBay! Sometimes you have to buy several partial
collections to get the who Magilla!
Now- if I can 'score' a 65mm Elmar without resorting to selling the
grandchildren, I will be set!!
BTW, Marc, the VISO II I got has the square 90 degree VF; I boutgh it for
that reason as the VISO III didn't have the VF, but did have the Universal
Mount and tube for the 135 Elmar!
Not as handy as the SL, but for what little close-up stuff I do, it was a
relatively inexpensive foray into a hitherto unknown area of Leica arcana!
Thanks again all!
