Using a WL finder doesn't cure the problem: the screen itself is
undersized, about 52x52mm.
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.

ANYTHING would be better than the Pentacon WLF, beautiful looking (IMO) but almost useless. FWIW my Arax 60 has a very good 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).
