Strength:

The price/performance point couldn't be beat, until they discontinued it. I have one of the last ones, I guess.

Weakness:

Weighs a ton. Lenses weigh a ton.

Big, huge, heavy, and really good at taking pictures ON A TRIPOD. The mirror shake on this camera, when you're not using a 'pod, is breathtaking.

It's probably not the best 6x7 in existance, but it is good enough not to matter for landscape and the like.

Strength:

Very rugged and easy to use. Lenses are very sharp and the 6x7 chromes it produces are dazzling. Was very cheap as I bought the body, three lenses, and lots of accessories a month or so before the infamous price jump many years ago.

Weakness:

Very slow sync speed (1/30) bothers some users. No interchangable backs. System is much heavier than a Pentax 35mm system.

A fantastic 6x7 system for outdoor photographers who do not need multiple backs or fancy flash options.

Customer Service

Cleaned twice over the years, hand delivered to Colorado facility. Good service and reasonable prices.
