>>2975116I absolutely love using the camera and it feels great in the hands, but I can't say I'm incredibly impressed with the build or durability. Mine is currently out for repairs after owning it just 5 months. I lightly bumped the shutter cable on a tree in July and it made the socket loose which then eventually broke entirely a few weeks ago, making bulb mode unusable so a max shutter time of 4 seconds is all I could do. I'm incredibly hard on cameras though and I did bump the socket so it's my fault, take better care of it and you'll be happy. I'm really hard on cameras. My rangefinder was also way out of calibration when I bought it so I'm getting that adjusted. I'm not entirely sure they are a good cold weather camera either. There has been a few times where it's not let the film lever advance because it didn't trip the mechanism after firing the shutter. I've had to remove the lens, cock the shutter on the lens manually and reattach and fire with the lens cap on to advance. I will see if that is also something to be repaired while it's in for service.
>>2975120Thank you anon.
>>2975121So far I try to keep it within a days drive or 800 miles. But I am looking at going even further next year. There's a lot of good ones through the summer in Colorado so I don't always go far. Plus in Colorado you can always just sleep in the van down a dirt road to save a ton of money.
>>2975122I definitely don't shoot people except with a cellphone. And I absolutely hate social media and only use it for business purposes, so no secret snaps there. There was that time I had the /p/ traveling camera and that was fun. Pic related.
