I came on board with a Leica II or a III, my father can't remember  
what he had. The windows were not that close. But one gets used to it.
I also started with a Rollei, where one is constantly looking down,  
looking up, looking down,etc....
By the time I was 8 years old, I carried my own water with them.
By then I also had a fair sense that technology required a certain  
amount of attentiveness.
I used a rollei half a dozen time this past 2 weeks,  and I used a  
view camera 5 times this past 10 days, one also look down (reflex  
hood), looks up, etc....
None of that fussiness has ever bothered me.
I do get bothered with dragging around a tripod, though. Almost got a  
gyro once, but that's impossible with a view camera.
S.d.
