BUT none of them has a waist level finder and I find the Viso with vertical finder much more satisfactory for prolonged close up work. I know Viso looks bizarre (for some this is part of its charm) but it is a very practical tool. Even wth bellows mounted it is rock solid and the 65mm Elmar is a dream. I sometimes use Viso + bellows supported by the shoulder grip from my 560mm Telyt and I get results I can only match with the SL and macro-Elmar on a tripod. Not trying to convert anybody, but if you get the chance to try a Visoflex you may well be pleasantly surprised. Would Cosina produce a visoflex if we ask nicely? Regards, Richard Setchim London
