I am just about Rolleiflex height most of the time, and since the vf on the Sony flips, I can also shoot from a little higher than ankle level. What?s more, my chair came equipped with what they call I-level, an elevator rig that raises my seat another foot higher. All these years of being 6?4? shooting viewfinder cameras, and now my viewpoint can be nearly anything I want it to.
