I've had mine for 8 months now, It really is a remarkable camera. I haven't used it that much since it isn't that flexible, I prefer to use my RB67 because of the wlf, no crazy finders, and close focus ability. Framing drives me mad with it. The frame lines show 85% - 100% of the frame depending on where you focus which means I have to crop almost every shot I take. Needing to imagine shallow dof at wide apertures is also annoying.

The 7 and gitzo 1228 tripod make a great setup where I need to go big distances or take MF abroad on a plane. It's amazing to be shooting 6x7 carrying so little weight! This is where it really shines and why I bought it.

Also remember the lens prices are insane, £1500 for a 50mm anyone? My RB 50mm was under £200.
