The Viso II or III have the best cost/utility ratio. Depending on your use
you will want either the 4x right angle viewer or the 5x vertical one. The
focus mounts and/or bellows to buy depends on what lens(es) you wish to
use. If you want to do closeup work the 65 Elmar is hard to beat. You
attach it to the Viso with either a Universal focus mount or Bellows II
with adapter ring.
