Also the silent Rolleicord and Rollei T. I was looking more for the eye-level viewing, like Leicas, rather than the "umbilical" perspective of the 6X6 SLR's.

Well, yeah...it is an exceptional camera, but it's a beaster. It is way too big to just tote around, at least comfortably. In fact, I have one...but I find I don't use it, and use my Hasselblad in favor, as it is much lighter and far more compact. The 600x is an exceptional studio camera...but not really in the same use league as a rangefinder or TLR.
