a visoflex fits on an M body with no hacking.
And the lenes which can but easily put on that viso include easily a lot of
R glass.
65 /4 Elmar Macro 
125/2.5 Hektor
180/2.8 Tele-Elmarit
200/4.5 Telyt
200/4 Telyt
280/4.8 Telyt
400/5 Telyt
400/5.6 Telyt
400/6.8 Telyt
560/5.6 Telyt
560/6.8 Telyt
800/6.3 Telyt

And the detachable heads from all kinds of older Leitz glass

I find the use of Viso's quite useful and intuitive and responsive.
Combined with the instant viewing gratification of shooting digital it seems
like a great thing for all kinds of glass.
Enlarger glass at the top of the list.
I like many people had a bellows come with their viso.
