Great cameras for weddings and especially for the formals.

Put a 120 roll-film back on that sucker and it's unbelievably silent. And then if you want to make a lot of noise to let people know that you're really taking their picture, you can use the focal-plane shutter with a Grafmatic back. > > I used this in the 1960's when it wasn't even retro.
