Mamiya C220 outfit that included a eyelevel finder,
not a porofinder, a big heavy pentaprism finder. I
have discovered that this monster has no place to hold
onto when useing this finder, unless I can find some
sort of grip thst works, it just has to be put on a
tripod. I like the unreversed view though and I find
that the slowdown has helped my photography. The other
major fly in this 6x6 jar of onitment has been finding
processing for this format. At present it is a 40 mile
round trip. John Robison
