a 6x7 because I thought I'd read that the older ones were iffy.
The film transport mechanism is the weak spot on the first twenty

Thanks Albano.
A question: even with the vibration the shots come out better than a
good 35mm with no vibration problems? How much better?

Hi, Dan
Yes, film transport is an issue in old 6x7s. I own an
old nonMLU
The vibration issue is supposedly with low shutters
speeds (from 1/30 to 1 second), and specially combined
with long lenses (wich I never plan to own or use).
To be honest, Dan, I still have to use the camera in
very good conditions. I shot few rolls, and all in not
the best conditions
No, Dave, I haven't missed the mirror lockup, and I've done a few macro
shots on the tripod. Maybe it's more crucial with really long lenses, but
with the big neg, you can shoot with 400-speed film and still get grainless
8x10s, along with higher shutter speeds. You can easily use the camera
Hey, speaking of MLU on 6x7's, does anyone know if they have a version of the
thumbnail flick MLU like some of the old Pentax mechanical 35mm bodies have?
I'm not sure if they were actually ~designed~ that way, but my MX and Spotmatics
are certainly capable of it, although I've never actually used
What on earth is the 'thumbnail flick' MLU Frank?

Hi, Shaun,
Gently flick the shutter release with a fingernail, so that it depresses about 1/2 way
and immediately comes back up. The mirror goes up, and stays there. The shutter does
not fire. Then, depress the release fully, the shutter fires, and the mirror goes
down.
I'm not that good at
Howdy Frank,
Now I understand...thanks. I can't see how it would be too harmful if
you did it occasionally. However, it couldn't be a good thing in bodies
that were not designed to have the springs/mechanisms holding the mirror
up on purpose. If it is by 'slight of hand' so too speak, I could
