[rollei_list] Re: rollei_list Pentacon Six WLF


A very big problem with the prism for the Pentacon 6 is that it shows an image that is, as I remember, less than 50mm x 50mm, which is less than 80% of the image. That was completely useless for me and I got rid of my Pentacon 6 TL.

Yes, I would agree with that. I use a metered prism on
my Pentacon 6 to get an acceptable viewing option, but
the WLF on the Exacta is like using a Rollei TLR with
a decent screen - a really delightful experience. And
you're right - the P6 WLF IS beautiful but useless.

WLF--because its a
close copy of the one on a late Rolleiflex TLR.
Although some late
model Kiev 60s come with a copy of a Hasselblad
WLF).
