"useful" for what?

The occasional macro photograph? Yes.
The occasional long lens photograph? Yes.
Providing tool use pleasure? Yes.
Marveling at Leica "system" coherence? Yes.

Though if you want to do serious macro and long lens work,
complete with auto diaphragm, ease of focus at all stops,
fast in camera metering, etc.
The Visoflex would not be the tool of choice.

I enjoy it occasionally, when I want a little reach,
and also wish to travel light, and small.
Though I'd never expect it to replace an SLR
for what an SLR does best.

Regards, George
