If you use the film sheet adapter is not a serious problem, BTW it requires a tripod and to use film sheet (I still have several Efke 25 sheets), you can use the GG insert to frame the picture and the GG viewfinder for fine focusing, the film plane GG could be difficult to use for it if the external light is strong, you'd need a black fabric to watch the film plane GG for fine focusing. I have seen a beautiful yellow rose photograph taken camera handheld with the 2.8 GX and a Rolleinar 3 in the last Rollei Club magazin, the focusing distance is so short that you could calculate the difference for viewing and taking lens in your mind with a bit of practice, the viewing lens Heidosmat- Rolleipar helps.
