Up periscope!
Yes, and with variations on the theme you can use this method for:
Candids around corners;
Paparazzi-type shots while hiding behind dustbins;
Composed shots over high fences, etc.
For those not having used a TLR before, you can get an idea of what it's
like to some extent by fitting a Varimagni to your OM with plain matte
screen and viewing and focusing only through that - without switching on a
meter of course, nor winder, and loading only 12 exposure films!
