Ricoh Six folding rangefinder from the mid-1950's. 6 x 4.5 and 6 x 6 format with removable mask (still there!). One pinhole in the paper bellows I will patch with black silicone. Everything works and had the original leather case (needs stitching as always).

I have a buddy who I sold one of my Fuji GW690III cameras for a great price. He put about 20 rolls through it. I regretted selling it. He sold it back to me for a great price. 😍

would you call it a viewfinder
Yes: that's what it has. It's not 'technically not' a rangefinder camera, it's just 'not' a rangefinder camera.
I'd call it a folding viewfinder camera, or a folding camera with a reverse-Galilean viewfinder and front-element scale focusing. Not many of the Ricoh Six made, according to Camera-wiki.

My newest MF camera is a Yashica Mat LM, with a dead meter but otherwise in good condition. I've had it some weeks and not finished a film yet. :sad:
