Absolutely true for photojournalists. However, if there was anything  
at all that the Visoflex had going for it - it was macro photography.  
The idea that the mirror simply and automatically went up when the  
image was focused and ready to shoot really worked quite elegantly. I  
hate the mirror lock up routines on any and all SLR's that I've used  
over the decades.
