What is the smallest 6x6 or bigger MF camera?

Both the Voitlander perkeo and the Franka Solida are 6x6 scale focus folders. They will fit in the back pocket of your jeans. The smallest non-rangefinder coupled is the perkeo as well. The one that is the easiest to find are the normal scale focus versions. In terms of couple rf, the smallest in size maybe a Zeiss super ikonta iii (not to be mistaken for a super ikonta b).. These will difinitely stretch a perverbil back pocket.

In general, I would look for a scale ocus 6x6 folder personally, but that is because I like 6x6 better than 6x4.5. If u are interested in 6x4.5 then a super ikonta A would be a very small as well.. Most 6x4.5 folders are going to be pretty small.

The Ansco Speedex Special has a non coupled rangefinder but is very small. If the bellows has been replaced it is a very, very compact option. And you do not have to guess the focus distance.

I have a isolette II for reference, how much smaller is the speedex special? what about the perkeo and solida compare in size to the isolette II?

Agfa Isolette II is 5.5 x 3.5 x 1.5
 
Perkeo is mallee than the special. I don't have the other camera to compare. Solida is just slightly bigger..

Perkeo I which is bottom of line - normally a Vaskar lens but can be found w/ Skopar
Perkeo II normally came w/ Skopar.
Perkeo iii also known as perkeo e - only one w/ a uncoupled rangefinder. Normally comes w/ Skopar.

Here's a small comparison between Voigtländer Bessa III, Perkeo II, and Leica M4-2:

The Balda Baldix I've got is about the same size as the Perkeo II, but the Perkeo II has the better lens and is more robustly built. The Rollei 35, Olympus XA, or Minox 35GT-E are, of course, quite a bit smaller and lighter, but it's hard to imagine a 6x6 camera that's much smaller than the Baldix or Perkeo II.

Id like to see the XA sitting next to it for reference that would be cool.
