Exciting!!
I had an awful time figuring the camera out, though, and still haven't quite got it. I have the manual, and it's helpful, but nowhere near as helpful as it could be. I figured out the shutter thingy, for the most part, but the tough part is the (#*^$%$#(#$* film winder - sometimes it would wind just fine, sometimes I would bring the lever out to wind and it would just stick at full extended place. Sometimes I would wind, and the frame indicator would advance, but the exposed frame indicator wouldn't change...
So I'm interested to see the first two rolls - I'm sure it's full of double exposures, occasions of HUGE gaps between photos on the film... but, oh, well. That's how we learn.
I sure love the feel of the camera, though - pure smoothness. Heavy, but comforting.
I might just waste one roll of film and keep running it through the camera until I really have the damn thing figured out.
So many buttons, levers, and settings on this damn thing.
My other medium format is a Seagull, total manual no option kind of camera.
