However the M5 release arm is not a common item so it is more accurate to say that all M cameras except the M5 will fit on a Visoflex III. Here is a good introduction to the Visoflex system: http://elshaw.tripod.com/ The Visoflex II has a stepped prism that will not fit on the taller cameras (M5, TTL, M7). You can fit a chimney prism or the prism from the Visoflex III to get it to work but the release arm will not work properly. I often use my Visoflex II with a Visoflex III prism and release the mirror manually and use a cable release on the camera. The Visoflex (I) can be mounted on any M camera as it uses a double cable release. It has a longer register and can only focus the older lenses to infinity. It is easier to answer specific questions on the Visoflex rather than general ones as there are so many permutations and adapters.
