I happily shot a roll or two with the Certo Six before realising that I do not know what accuracy the viewfinder has. There are no frame lines. Anyone know the answer?

Viewfinders of that period generally have no framelines (these appeared first on auxiliary finders, and only made it into the mainstream from the Leica M and its competitors downwards). The finder edges are usually so tightly cropped (to around 60-75% of the image) that the margin will cover even the close-up parallax and size variation - that is, by design they are inaccurate in a way that can be compensated in enlarging/scanning.

I've only put 2 rolls through my Certo Six so far, but I find the viewfinder representation to be much closer to the realized negative than with many other folders of the era. Perhaps this is because of the built in parallax correction?

I'm not quite sure as I did not think about it while shooting, but having had my first roll back I believe the finder is pretty much spot on. There certainly is not a huge difference.
