Not having ever seen one in person, can anyone tell me how big phycially the newer "round" Linhof optical viewer is? I've used the older zoom model, tan, that sits on a large flat platform, so I know the size of those, but is the newer all round model smaller? Can you tell me the diameter of the front?
The older ones are just so big they're almost a camera size in themselves, so I hope maybe the newer one is smaller.
Thank you!!

I've owned both, and they're about the same size. Maybe the new one is slightly larger.

I just put a ruler to mine. The diameter of the front is about 53mm; the ring behind it that sets the distance for parallax correction is a bit larger. From the bottom of the foot to the very top it's about 75mm. And it weighs roughly 9 oz. It's a lovely piece of hardware, but petite it's not.

I was afraid it was really big.
Thank you both for the information - it helps a bunch!
