For twenty one years I worked in the photo services for what was once the largest public school system in Ohio. I own a Rollei SL66 with a Rollei chimney finder. I discovered that it would fit on our Pentax 67 with the aid of Scotch black photo tape when we had the Pentax on our copy stand. It made focusing so much more convenient. There once was a guy by the name of Harry Chamberlain in CA. He specialized in Rollei gear. He hasn't been around in ages. I never found a prism finder for that camera. Please continue your informative channel.

I’m running a stock F model with a 2.8 planar. Only accessories I have are the lens hood and neck strap. I never feel under “camera’d “ when I use it….a hand held incident light meter too.

Just step into the world of prism finders. Life changing.

I have one, but then you photograph with it up high like any other camera and people lose their heroic stature.

Very cool I’ve never used a chimney finder.

Irving Penn often did. I like them since they have a diopter.
