ha ha!  It's like someone cut a rolleiflex in half and stuck something on the back.  Looks interesting indeed.

Surely something so small and compact would be easily lost?   ;D

Aren't there 5x7" versions of these (certainly the Mentors, Thornton Pickards and Graflex SLRs of similar design)? They're what I'd call compact  ;D
