It's big, but the finder is beautiful, bright, and the camera is quite useable in low light, or bright. Fun to use with Polaroid, too. I got rid of a Mamiya 7 because of the sheer utility and beauty of the images from the Universal. Besides, one stop DOES make a difference (Mamiya 7 standard lens=f/4, Universal, f/2.8 as stated above). TLR's are nice, but I prefer direct-view viewfinders. If I'm going to do ground glass type work, I'll stick to my RB's. I don't expect as much from them, and they astound me every time. JD
