How big is the GW670ii?

Yes, I am getting the Bessa RF 6x9 folding camera (all black) with Heliar lens. Look here: http://www.retrography.com/bessa.htm

Scroll down to see the Bessa "E-Messer" (1936) RF. And my lens is the Heliar, not the Helomar. This site has some nice pictures showing how sleek the Bessa RF looks when folded up. From what I've read, it has two viewfinders, one for focusing the coupled rangefinder and the second one to frame.
 
Sounds like a very nice folder. I'm a fan of these cameras due to the 120 film capability. I've several Zeiss and Voigtlander folders. With the bigger 6x9 folders (mines the Zeiss Ikon w the 4.5 Jena Tessar 105mm) the pressure plate becomes critical. If it is not right then you will have film plane issues. Be sure to run a trial roll first just to check before doing any serious photography.
