Hi Mark seems like a nice camera for snow shots, I like this one a lot. Is this a medium format camera and are you a collector of old cameras?
I really enjoyed shooting some photos with a 1959 Agfa Ambiflex with 35mm SLR and some test shots with a Voigtlaender Bessamatic 1959 with the worlds first zoom "Zoomar" 38-80mm last week. But, every second shot, I forgot something to set, one time the distance, then the self timer did not work sometimes and the flash did not go off all the time.. I used an old fashioned Braun Hobby flash with the Ambiflex. The qualitiy feeling is incredible, full steel body and heavy (nearly 1 KG) ;-) greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Mark Cassino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 4:03 AM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: PESO - MT.
