Hi Frank,

I'm not sure it would be much bulkier than what it already has...certainly it 
could be if it was made a 6x9, but the 6x9s I have are only slightly wider than 
the 6x7s I have.  In the Super Ikonta line, the 6x9s may even be overall 
smaller because of the coupled rangefinder (hardly a fair comparison), but the 
width is not that much larger if you match them up.

Bulky is the Plaubel Makina 670 I have with the very nice Nikon 80/2.8.  I 
don't use that camera, I should sell it...apparently they fetch a fair dollar 
these days.

Regards,

Austin
