BD We have gotten into feuding before, when you try to set out The Only Right Way Of Doing Things. However, this IS a big universe, and I happen to like using a Visoflex, as do many others on this List. If you do not do so, well, more power to you and may all of your shots turn out. But that I like the Visoflex does not mean that it is right for everyone, nor does your liking an SLR mean that those who use a Visoflex are Doing Something Wrong. There just are no rights and wrongs on matters such as this. I can no longer, due to middle-aged eyes, use an SLR comfortably for general use, so a Leica RF is perfect for most of my photography. And, as I own a Visoflex and a slew of lenses, the system achieves even greater flexibility both for macro and telephoto work, without the huge financial investment which would be required if I had to invest in a totally different, and only marginally compatible, system. A Viso III, OUBIO, and 4/200 and 4.8/280 Telyt fit neatly into a 7.62mm ammo can which I can put in the trunk of my car. If I find, when I am out and about, that I need a telephoto, it is but a matter of seconds to open the trunk and, voila!
