My apologies for the rushed, and rather crappy, photo Embarassed

Pentacon Six TL with Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80/2.8 and Flektogon 50/4. A magnifying viewfinder, waist level finder, and metering prism cover most situations.

Not viewable in the photo is the upgraded focussing screen, which is a split-image type from Araxphoto.

I love the camera for it's sheer enormous size, and how it slows me right down. I can't wait for summer when I can get out for a few good sessions with it.

I also have the earlier Pentacon Six body, which is in hospital at the moment Sad

for discussion sake, the 120mm biometar P6 lens is awesome as well. i actually had a preference for the 80mm volna over the 80mm biometar. i thought it was a little sharper and had a little more 'pop'. certainly both are very good lenses, just my personal observations.
