Zeiss Rangefinder
I have a Polaroid camera with a Zeiss rangefinder that superimposes an frame
image over the rangefinder dot, which not only adjusts for parallax but also expands and contracts with the focus. I have rangefinders where the window moves, but none where it expands and contracts. Do some of the Zeiss rangefinder cameras have this feature? Thanks |

But that takes 70mm film and is pretty much useless. Is there any way to load 120/220 film into one of these contraptions? |

Two data points for you: my Fuji GS645S (non-folder) shrinks and expands the area of the rangefinder, but my Mamiya 7II does not. Thanks for bringing this up: I'm still finding the M7's rangefinder hard to use, and this is something else to think about. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

I think the Mamiya Super 23 expands the RF brightlines, but I don't have it at hand to check. It is nice, but not exactly pocket size. But that takes 70mm film and is pretty much useless.

Forget the 70mm film, the real problem is wearing that helmet every time you go out to take pictures. |
