the viso III and eyelevel should not have any trouble with the TTL, as the 
prism is considerably elevated.  the viso III can even handle the M5 with its
high top deck.  the level arm is adjustable as well.

the viso II will not fit a TTL because the prism fits nearly flush
against the top deck of a classically-proportioned M.

the above is derived from secondary sources; someone with a viso III
and TTL should confirm.  i use a viso III and M6 classic combination.
