I don't know about that......I have an M4...the last of the bench built Leicas. It also is a fantastic machine as well as a great camera. The sound of a Leica going off is delicious just by itself. I think that bringing any Leica to your eye changes your viewpoint because the emphasis is seeing what the lens sees rather than just looking into a slr viewport.
Ok. any suggested uses for a Visoflex and lenses (other than as paperweights? That is a great example of force fitting.a bad idea with good engineering. I am somewhat warped anyway. I also own a Contax IIA ....the real camera (heh) I am afraid of having the shutter go west so I shoot with a Kiev that I picked up, and it has the bonus of taking the pre-war lenses because they never modified the shutterbox Probably was not in the tooling that went east.
