I don't experience use of the Visoflex with various lenses from macro (even micro) to extreme telephoto at all masochistic. For me using this gear has a contemplative quality to it. I do not choose the visoflex for work where I need extremely fast response times. The gear requires an anticipatory frame of mind. The resulting digital files certainly make the effort worthwhile. Obviously the R8/DMR with macro and long lenses offers a quicker response time; and far better active metering. And the 5D with Canon lenses offers even more automation when necessary. Yet the Visoflex continues to satisfy the quiet, light, contemplative craftsman in me.
