Its lucky this thing says "Leica Visoflex".

I thought Viso was Leica thing all this time having looked at the Leica
catalogs for years since the 60's. I thought a catalog so amazingly varied
like this was Leica only.

Turns out Nikon, Canon and who knows who else all has reflex mechanisms and
there were third party people turning them out.

I'm not saying this like its new news. But I don't think everyone has
absorbed it fully.

Leica had all the microscope stuff in it the others didn't have though.
They got past macro into the micro zone. That could be the big difference.
