Got an F2, later F3. All nice camera, but the F3, compared with the F2, is all electronics and sometimes misfires. Got into Hassy, but never care for the weight of all the gears. Then into Linhof LF. Again, the weight of the camera, tripod, film holders etc etc etc becomes unbearable. Seldom use it, but if there's a once in a lifetime capture, I wish I had the Linhof with me. Got into M. The first one was an M6 Panda. Stolen, then got a M6 Tit, sold it, but regret it. Got an M3, M4 and sold it. Now I have an M6 Classic HM and an M6 TTL. I like the classic HM most. Might consider the M7 to replace the M6 TTL. - --- "R. R.
