And I got it early one. Its great for horizontals, turning the camera on its side is not very comfortable. Group shots, copy work... 16 on a roll; no haste no waste, no muss no fuss. Now if you had a sidewinder motordrive thing which fits on the CW and other cameras and the low point PME 90 view finder turning the camera on it's side is much easier Trouble is the winder cost well over a grand and so does the viewfinder. My body cost me 500 bucks used. It would also be a LOT larger than a Contax 645 or Pentax or Mamiya. The image circle being definitely smaller and making for really a more compact and friendly unit. I was going to go that route build up my Hasselblad with the high tech gear to make it a 645 but then said forget it.
