Well, not in this case. The C won't take the prism (good thing, these prisms
make the cameras very top heavy and take away all the great ergonomics) and
without the prism, the rolleifix grip isn't of much use...

How about a nice telerollei... mine's a killer... best MF portrait rig out

portraiture if you back off a bit and is wonderful for situational
portraits...
