I've been using my dream camera, the RZ67 Pro IID, for three straight weeks every single day with an enormous grin on my face. The 110mm f/2.8 standard lens is tack sharp, gives great skin tones and has lots of contrast, just how I like a lens to be. Since this is a huge camera it lives primarily on a tripod, but it's not that bulky as to hinder handheld use at shutter speeds faster than 1/60th. If you've read about this camera before you'll know that the film backs rotate from landscape to portrait orientation without having to move the camera - very practical! The waist level finder's pop-up magnifier is practical, but I often enough pull the whole thing off and use a 10x loupe a la Markus Klinko for more exact focussing. Speaking of focussing, the bellows focussing is smooth as silk, and very exact. I'm looking forward to trying this out with a rented digital back soon!
