When I was in college I used a Leitz Reprovit. Now, THAT was an awesome piece 
of equipment. It used a "blind" Leica M body (an MDa or M1). As I recall, you 
projected an image through the taking lens and focused the projected image on 
the baseboard. When you were framed and focused you flipped a lever and slid 
the camera into place (displacing the projector device). It was too cool . .
