Kirk,

Of course it will work! The GG viewing screen is mounted on the BODY of the camera, It stays on when the hood is removed. The sportsfindre though, will only delineate the central portion of the subject/image.

Wait till you try to buy a Bay IV lenshood for it.!!!

I spotted a rather beat-up RolleiWide, but it comes with a prism instead of its own hood.

I assume the original hoods with WA sportsfinder are impossible to find. And I don't think the prism finder would work very well on it, because one of the nice things abut a WA Rollei is that if you hold it level at chest or tummy height, you don't get as much convergence/distortion as when you point a camera downward from eye level.

So my question is: Does the regular hood & magnifier from an E or F work OK on a RolleiWide (using the viewing lens, of course, not the sportsfinder)?
