Good Points

Inexpensive, even more so now that digital is moving forward at a pace. Inexpensive lenses, with fairly sound optics for the price. There is a supply of different backs, standard 6x6, plus 6x4 and Polaroid. There is also a light meter which is used by our Hasselblad photographers, a cheaper version than Hasselblads own item.


Bad Points

Camera and Lenses can suffer from quality control problems, but to be fair they have improved in the latter years. The lenses can be a bit on the heavy side, so you will need to work out if you intend to purchase one.


General Comments

This camera and lenses are built like a T34 tank, they will still be here in a 100 yrs time. It's a shame that there is a declining need for medium format. In all the time that I have had mine, it has produced good quality photo's and I have been more than happy with it. I wish I could find more opportunity to use it.
