Subject: [Leica] Visoflex Model Refresher......

I know it has been published here before, but what is the difference (
practical difference) between the Visoflex II and IIA and III ?  How can one
spot the difference between the II and the IIA?

Given that I want to use only M6TTL and M8 Leicas, does it make any
difference which I select?  ( yes, I understand that the III has a taller
top so it clears the M8 body height so that it can be mounted with the
finder intact.... the II would require removal of the finder, fit on the
body, replace the finder....)

Change that to the MDa model.....I can use any of them?

I remember someone writing that the III had a shutter arm that was Longer?
Shorter? Bent Funny? Than a II, so that it would fit a M6.....  Any truth to
that one?  

How can one be visually spotted over the other without them sitting next to
each other?

I am getting interested in using the Leica glass in some macro projects....
