Looks lovely!
Is it heavy? Seems a lot of metal.

Thanks gents.

Yes, it's heavy, nothing i going out for a day. Changing film is ok but not as easy as slr or newer rangefinders.

Quality on near infinity is good. There is no nex adapter, so i cant compare optical quality on digital.
Close range is not precise. It s old, and not easy to use as leica.

Looks rather reminiscent of the Kodak Medalist, how is the
build quality? Looks good in the picture.

Thanks gents.

Build quality of the camera is superb, all mech.
The shutter is a leaf shutter in body, not curtain.
Helicoid build in the lens, but they are pancake sizes.
