Subject: [Leica] Visoflex III + telyt 400/6.8 ?

Hi,

My local dealer has currently a visoflex III and a telyt 400 6.8 for
sale.
The price is ~$900 (not sure)

I might be interested in the combo, and I
don't know much about leica telephoto lenses (except my M 90/2.8 & M
135/4) and viso.

I would appreciate some help from fellow luggers:

- - Is the viso still a solution compared to modern SLR camera ?
- - What's the quality of the 400 mm ?
     (should be ok, I saw some terrific pic one the web site of Doug
Herr)
- - What about the focussing ?
- - Which other lenses (200 mm?) fit the viso III ?
- - Is the price correct ?
- - etc.

Thanks in advance

Xavier.

P.S: I'm interested in that for wildlife photo.
