You have to have big-hands (I have), but I find the Rollei 6006 quite 
ergonomic for eye-level use (left eye) with a 45? finder, rests very 
nicely on the palm of my left hand and has shutter release buttons all 
over the place, so your fingers are always bound to find one (if you 
rest it on your right hand, your thumb is right on one of the releases 
too.). But the weight of it is admittedly a bit much after a couple of 
hours of toting it around, especially when you're carrying a couple of 
extra lenses..
