To make a 1/2 frame camera, you mask off the left hand half of the film
plane ( as an example only).  This leaves you with a 24x17 frame....
The image is now in PORTRAIT mode relative to the length of the 35mm film.
You need to mask off the finder from lasnscape mode to portrait mode to make
sense,...

With the 1.4x adjustment, you could fit a 35mm lens, but use the 50mm
finder.
