I bought a batch of them for dirt cheap from a local store so I now own 4 of these. I love the handle. The trigger feels so satisfying!

i have one of these with 6x9 back, absolutely love it, use it for reportage and street believe it or not, pretty perfect

good to see you making your own sound. You are a man of many talents

the goat is back

I owned a Mamiya Universal at one point and I more or less had the same issues with it being too bulky and accessories being hard to find/stupidly expensive. My experience was still wonderful and I wish I kept my lenses because now there's 3D Printed bodies which make the shooting experience so much better. You can really lighten up the kit that way especially since you already zone focus

I have two of these, with six lenses - 50mm to 250mm and i just love them. Yes, the learning curve is quite steep for the reasons you've mentioned. I made every mistake in the book at first (lens cap left on darkslide not removed or put back in when changing lenses) but I worked out the discipline of using this wonderful system. It can be done.

I've got one and it's my favourite camera in my collection. I lug it around all of the time and it's never let me down. It has the bonus of drawing peoples attention and ive had some great conversations because of it.

I started paying attention to this camera because it can be retrofitted with a 3D printed Fuji Instax Wide photo paper back, which is a great combination.

I’m impressed, I got a 3rd UK version in G Graflok back so I don’t need or can’t use the v3 winder back anymore. Focus isn’t as bad as I thought in rangefinder especially when. Calibrated to the lens & reasonably easy on the ground glass as it’s bright & nicer w/ a Fresnel screen.

Cool review and congrats on the Subie!

I love the left handle because it allows me to balance the camera with both hands, putting a strap on this makes it easier to handle than my rb67 and Pentax 67. One main issue I have had is the photos have been soft on the 75mm lens, maybe the 100 mm will inspire me to use it more. I also have the 250mm lens but I haven’t had the right project to bring it out yet. I thought about selling but realized a lot of 3D printed cameras use these lenses so having the option of using a smaller camera body is what I love about the film photography community.
