I was looking back at my camera history on Flickr.
This was my second LF camera. I liked this camera much better because I could easliy put it in my backpack, and get more shooting done. I was very reluctant to part with this camera, but realized at one point in my photography, I no longer had the patience to shoot one frame at a time LF.
Bought in Feb 2001, and sold in Sep 2004
