Had you only mentioned your interest to Paul at CC!! This is S/H but has only had one or maybe two rolls put through it! It was the 6x6 bit that sold it to me. Will try to pop a roll through at the weekend and, if all goes well, I want to take it to Venice in late September rather than the Mamiya 7II.
It is a very nicely made camera and seems to handle very well. The RF is good but not as good as on a Leica and the Mamiya but probably more than up to the task. I suspect the framing will take a bit of getting used to though.

FFS ... I'd thought it must be a Robert white visit...
I'd be interested to see how it fairs against the ga645s rf which is arguably its weak link

I've just noticed that when you update a post then the ones below that post and the post itself loses the ability to HHF them. Interesting!!
And having returned to the thread they have reappeared!!

I went through some stuff i had in storage in the UK - and found my old Lubitel 166 B
So I thought I'd bring it back to the US and put some film through it!
Should be an interesting experience.. But not quite the same level as your lovely Fuji

It takes 120 film Davie. Four shots per roll!!
