Let us know how you find it. I've been sorely tempted by one myself as Ilford HP5 is also available in 120 (and I can process that at home).

its a brill piece of craftsmanship. but if you do go for one get it with an AE prism otherwise it back to using the good old meters. I am using my mz-50 35mm for metering, or my canon.

It does take a bit of playing with and learning where bits go and "what does this bit do ???" the manual is a big help.

Camera: *ist DS,MZ-50,
Lenses: D-Xenon 50-200mm 4/5.6, pentax smc a 50mm 1.7, Kiron 70-210mm, Pentax SMC DAL 18-55, Asahi 2x Rear tele-converter, Sirius M42 135mm macro, M42 extension tubes 61mm,

Kodak BW400Cn is pretty good in my opinion, I use it as my black and white choice in 35mm and have got some pretty good results with it.

I have an old Voightlander Brillant TLR and it is ok, though have yet to actually finish the film currently in it to see if it works.....

K5, K200 and several film Pentax cameras!
