The Visoflex III will work fine on a M6TTL camera and that is what I 
would recommend you get. The Visoflex II with the eyelevel prism from a 
Visoflex III or the vertical magnifier will also work but the arm 
clearance is very tight. I can get mine to work but someday when I am 
bored, I will adjust the arm so I can get the recommended 2mm clearance. 
I prefer the Visoflex II myself for its shorter arm travel.

A Visoflex I will also work but only with the double cable release.

There is a great deal to be said for having just one camera and a small 
Visoflex along if some macro shoots come up. It takes up much less room 
than a SLR body; especially a Viso II with a vertical magnifier 
attached. That combo will fit in a lens pouch intended for a 90 TE.
