The only things is that they are not as flare-proof as the Leica lenses, and with rangefinders that's more significant than with SLRs. This stuff, along with a SWC make a great small MF outfit, and all of this is about the size of the RZ with 1 lens. I wouldn't use this for studio work, but if you like and can handle rangefinders, the Mamiya 6 is great. - -- * Henning J.
