Aaaah, there we go; it's this one:

http://www.dantestella.com/technical/iiiseries.jpg

recognizable from the gold colored "Professional" smack in the center.

curious those, the RF seperation isn't all that much (by that I mean like  
a leica, where the viewfinder is on the far left (camera held to eye) and  
the other window is on the other side of the lens.. this has it side by  
side. i think it is called the base length? woudlnt focus be more critical  
on a larger format? and it is quite a large camera!
