MLU cameras have more than just that as an advantage. They also beefed up the film transport at that time, which cured some other ills. Even so, an MLU 6x7 that has erratic film transport should be looked at. The 6x7 is actually easier to hand hold than a 35mm, but still, it makes much sense to use a tripod with them whenever possible, and a chunky one at that. I have a light weight Manfrotto tripod, the 055 model, which is junior under the 6x7. It just doesn't cut it. Wood tripods are very good with this camera. William Robb
