camera body for zone plate

I've been using a converted Lubitel camera for my studio based zone
plate work. I like the camera, but its layout is causing me some
trouble. It's great having a viewing lens, but the placement of the
viewfinder on top is inconvenient given my lighting set-ups. I often
find myself check to jowl with a blazing quartz light. Also, having to
unscrew the camera from the tripod every time I need to change film is
annoying.

I'm looking for another cheap medium format camera to convert to zone
plate -- preferably one with a rangefinder style viewfinder on the
back. I've heard that the Agfa Sporti is a possible candidate. Does
anyone know what the focal length of this camera is? Any other cameras
come to mind? Thanks.
