Mamiya Press cameras don't quite suck, but Graflex XLRF cameras
rule this genre! Better lenses (Zeiss, Rodenstock), more
accessories, better-built, better viewfinder and rangefinder. And
did I mention Zeiss and Rodenstock lenses? And with a 270
Rodenstock mounted, they scare not just children, but sensitive
adults and small animals too.
Any other XL'ers out there?
