It's a beaut. Simple, dependable. In decreasing order of use.

Leica M6
Deardorff 8x10
Crown Graphic 4x5 (the only camera I leave in my trunk :-)

Canon EOS 10s (with a 100mm Macro lens)
- ----
I no longer use (in order of decreasing expense)

Sony Mavica (digital) -- total waste of $1100
Leica R3s -- great paperweight
Canon F-1 -- though I've gotten my money's worth in the past -- it's still a
gem
