That was a joke...think about trying to follow fast moving objects using a
reverse image.  Yes, the Rollei has a 'sports finder' as part of the Waist
Level Finder.  There is no focusing or accurate framing when using the
'sports finder' though.  DOF should take care of focusing.  The F actually
has a 90 degree finder as part of the WLF, it has a little magnifier and
mirror...image is still backwards though since there is no prism...but it
was kind of a neat idea.
