(with the possible exception of the M7 in AE mode, but I don't know if the Visoflex will fit the M7). Surprisingly, the T will mount either the Visoflex II, IIa or III WITHOUT any modification of the release arm. All you have to do is use the Abrahamsson Soft Release to take up the difference in clearance between the arm and the Bessa T's shutter release. If you have a Viso II or IIa in screw mount, just add the screw mount to bayonet mount adapter to mount it on the Bessa T. pics of the T mounting a Visoflex are at the bottom of this page on my site at http://cameraquest.com/VCBT.htm If you want more Bessa T info, check out the new March 2002 issue of Popular Photography for a "hands on" review of the limited edition Bessa T Heliar 101 set, along with the 50/3.5 Heliar which Popular says "may be the best lens we have ever tested."
