It is therefore also the same size as the film format and a Rolleiflex only has a larger focusing screen because it is a 6x6 medium format and not a 135 format camera. A 135 format camera with a waist-level viewfinder (a few of those do exist), will not have a larger focusing screen than any other 135 camera. | |
