I use a Visoflex III with an M5 and M6 classic.  I've never had a Visoflex II.

Exposures have worked great.  The convenience of the meter is very good.

You have to adjust the shutter trip distance (obvious).

I couple up the Visoflex with bellows usually.

The beauty of the Leica modern body is that it breathes life to my old
accessories.
