A lens doesn't have to be *too* good with 6x6 film, especially at f/8. I have heard of innumerable mechanical and quality control problems. With so many Rolleiflexes and Rolleicords out there, I would suggest buying a bargain Rollei and letting Harry Fleenor revive it.

But has anyone on the LUG actually used one? I handled a Seagull GC-109 the other day at B&H and it appears to be a fine, solidly made camera. I was told that most of the sales are to photography students, usually on the advice of their instructors. There have been few complaints. At less than $300 new, it might be a good entry camera for someone wishing to explore MF photography. Larry Z _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
