The only drawback is that you have to remove the finder from the Visoflex before you mount it or dismount it. The larger (round) eyepiece stops it from sliding forwards over the camera top plate. I do prefer the Viso2 finder , because the eyepiece is adjustable for my eyesight. The Viso3 finder list this feature. Regards, Horst Schmidt NB. I am not 100% certain if it still works on the M6 TTL bodies . The top plates are a couple of mm higher than all other M models.
