Oh, there were plenty MF viewfinder cameras. Plenty of folding cameras in particular, but also box cameras and some rangefinders. Just none that could feasibly be sent to the moon and be operated with astronaut's gloves. Really the only one I can think of that could have worked is the Graflex Combat70[1], which is essentially a giant Contax that shoots on 70mm film cartridges. That one was developed for the American Military to be used in the Korean War. [1] http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Combat_Graphic http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Combat_Graphic
