If I remember correctly, the Olympus 6 (Chrome 6?) came in
several models with and without rangefinders and was a dual format camera
by means of a mask. Don't remember the formats for sure, could have been
6x9 and 6x4.5? I'm sure someone will correct me on this and then you'll
have the info you wanted. :-)
