Just developed 2 rolls I put through it yesterday. Here are the results:
- - Heavy! Clumsy!!!
- - Dark RF/VF. Also unprecise - hard to focus even in quite bright light..
- - Very small image in VF
- - Loud! "THUMP!ZZ" is inexcusable in cafes or even on soft rock concerts.
But yes, this IS the kind of camera to take on Rammstein concert..
- - Will not work without baterries (this is the SINGLE WORST thing of KRF)
Saying all this, I would be very happy with KRF. :-)
