I recall way back when Spiratone sold accessories, they had a lens attachment to make slrs shoot at right angles. It was advertised for shooting bathing beauties beaches with out being conspicuous. It was less than $20.

This item is largely unnecessary.  Due to the waist level finder, the
simple method of surreptitious photography with a Rollei is to stand
facing about 90° away from while pointing the lens toward your true
subject.  Looking up occasionally  to stare intently at something to
your front helps.  I have performed this sneaky and perhaps unethical
technique countless times with almost complete success.  On one
occasion I was busted by a 4 year old girl whose perceptions had not
matured to the point that the misdirection worked.  Kids can be a tough
audience for magicians in that way.
