The glass you can get for your Visoflex is simply stupendous and CHEAP!
They are a bit slow by todays standards... but then they do not cost $5K per
lens either....

However, the hassle of shooting moving objects ( or maybe still ones too)
with a Visoflex could ruin your fun.

It is a good device.  It uses really great glass.  It is a Pain in the
behind to use... 

If you want to avail yourself of great glass, get the Visoflex M-Mounted
Lenses ( Telyt f6.8 models) and an appropriate adapter for your Nikon or
Canon or other ( I have an Olympus) and use your DSLR in the Aperture
Preferred mode.  It works as well on an R8/9 and DMR as well...
