P3D Re: Pentax beam splitter: Can it work on a 6x9 view camera?

Hi everyone,
	I've tried using my Franka beam splitter on my Rollei TLR, with a 75mm
lens giving me a 6x6cm image.  The whole thing works, but you do get quite
a lot of vingnetting in the corners, as well as image distortion along the
edges.  So I imagine that with a 6x9, it would be a lot worse!

Hope this helps,
			Vincent.
