Buying Guide
Known as the 'Texas Leica' for its size. The 6x9 negative is massive - nearly 4x a 6x4.5. No meter means you need experience or external meter. Test rangefinder accuracy carefully. Check shutter speeds. The 90mm f/3.5 lens is excellent. For those wanting ultimate image quality in a portable package.
