Cut my teeth on Exaktas, presently use Leica, Graflex XL, Rolleiflex, a variety of 3-D cameras. You haven't lived until you've tried to take pictures with a Foth Derby. Actually, if Exaktas had aged a bit better (they do not perform as well as 40-year old Leicas) they would still be a very nice system, albeit funky. They have a lovely variety of waist level finders, metered finders and lenses that are a bargain considering the Zeiss quality you get. My 58mm F-2 biotor will match anything you guys have of the same vintage. ctrentelman ogden, utah
