Is the Leica Visoflex 2 worth the investment? 

I don’t use it a lot but very valuable when I do. Especially for close up, flowers and such.

Great advice, because I am missing at 1.2 but not at 1.4.

The video looks good. Thanks for some more meaningful content.

I agree with your observations of the Visioflex 2. I use it for wide aperture, and telephoto lenses. It works well.

I find it very useful for my Leica Apo 75 f2. It’s a hard lens to focus at f2 - especially in poor light or with a difficult subject.

I have it. Very useful indeed.

All true + I found 2 Elpro s (3 & 4) in 55 mm thread. works perfectly on 90 2.0 APO for quick close up.

Thanks for posting. I have heard of the visoflex option and as I understand it, it provides evf equivalent via the hot shoe. So does the Visoflex provide TTL focusing alternative for the M11/M10?

I recently tested an M11p and thought I was going to hate the rangefinder experience (especially as my eyesight has deteriorated slightly this last 2 years) but came away smiling. I really enjoyed it! However, I am a professional brand lifestyle/ documentary photographer and wondered if I would ever get quick enough with manual focusing, especially with groups of moving people etc. I really like the form factor and weight compared to the bigger canons and Fujis I carry around. It’s back breaking sometimes. Do the M’s synch with lights (I currently use Elinchrom strobes and Godox speed lights)? Thanks for the info on the Visoflex.

Also good when you use wide angel lenses (24,21 ,18 mm) ,no guessing anymore!

I use the Type 020 Visoflex on my M10R for focus when I shoot my 21mm or 15mm or 135mm. Don’t mind using it but it is a battery killer. Much prefer the optical rangefinder.

You can use the LCD AND keep your flash shoe.

I really want to shoot with the M system, but I just dont like rangefinder focussing. Bought and sold a M10 2 years ago, I‘m crossing my fingers for a future EVF M-mount camera alongside the traditional rangefinder. Greetings from Germany 🍻

same visoflex 2 is the necessary evil

I have one its a joke

It is also great for street. You can look down in your camera and the crowd sees you as someone who is fumbling around with some old fashion photo device 😊🫣
