from eBay and shops Summary: An outstanding machine in all respects. Robust, Reliable, Simplicity. Uncomplicated image making. It allows the photographer to make images without the mechanism of image making becoming intrusive. Lenses are a dream to use and the images are sharp. The easiest MF camera I have used and also the best. Highly recommended if you want to learn about your own photographic skills and the sunject of photography, generally speaking. Strengths: Modularity - simplicity - photographer can control every aspect of exposure - lenses and leaf shutters - build quality - concept and execution - good design - weight - available accessories - TTL flash metering - ease of filmback loading - good system of interlocks - multiple exposure - mirror lock up - reliability Weaknesses: Irritations is a more accurate a term - no ISO reminder on film backs (need to use film box lid) - no set place for the dark slide when back is in use - mirror lock up sequence if several images with locked up mirror are to be made. Similar Products Used: Sinar F2 4x5, Arca Swiss 4x5, De Vere 4x5, Plaubel Makina 67, Kowa 66, Nikon D100, Canon 1D, Nikon F2, F3, FA and FM Customer Service: Outstanding! I use Intro 2020 in the UK. Knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Good advice and great service when it was needed.
