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. > > John Collier Thanks for the extended info. simon jessurun - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
