6x7 for travel?
I've got the first results back (expired roll of Fujicolor NPS 160 - dated April 2006), processed and scanned commercially. The negs look good, the 1523x1228 scans obviously don't do them anywhere near justice (my 6x4.5 negs are scanned at the same resolution and they're almost half the area).
I've also shot several rolls of Provia 100 (yet to be processed) and all feels good at the moment. I'll be able to assess the trannies a bit better than the negs. The metering is reasonably close to my Sekonic L408B (either spot or incident), but as it is an 'averaging' meter, the technique is obviously slightly different.
I've only tried it handheld at high-ish shutter speeds (1/125th and above) so far with the 75mm lens. There's no immediate evidence of shake in the negs (8x loupe) but it's obvious when shooting that there's a lot moving around in the camera.
For those unfamiliar with the metering prism, the meter needle is displayed separately below the viewfinder frame in it's own 'window'. This is much better that it cluttering up the 'finder or losing the needle against parts of the subject which can happen with something like a K1000. A great idea.
