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

The KE-4 does that. http://elearning.winona.edu/staff_o/jjs/cb.jpg

And it's quite Zeiss, too.

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

There is enough 70mm film left to use for the rest of your life. What's the
problem?

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.

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.

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