@LennonLenford Keep telling yourself that if you want, it won't make the GX a good camera. A mamiya C330 is a step up to the GX, they are that bad. Hell I would almost put it and a Yashicamat one the same level.... almost, if the Yashicamat had a more reliable shutter it would be flat out better. Hell, I would take a Richohflex over a GX!

@rliuLY I would take that over the GX.. Hell, I would take one 60's era Rollicords over the GX. Provide it had the 3.5 xenar instead of the tessar. I do love tessars but reality is the xenar is a better lens.

@Polybun I got myself a Rolleiflex as well :) automat

@Polybun Sigh. This seems like a personal issue because if it was about the camera you wouldn't go around throwing insults.
-
@rliuLY Don't be, it's just a GX, which is the last camera they ever made, and it shows. The glass doesn't stand up to the old glass and the internal design changes made to cheapen it up show. Those will never live as long as the letter models.

@TL250Rider Some are great cameras. The GX is NOT a great camera, and anyone that tells you otherwise is a fucking idiot.
-
@LennonLenford The problem is, it doesn't do a fine job. The shutter speeds do on repeat with any deal of accuracy, the glass isn't that great, and the overall build quality is just terrible. Parts with burrs, parts fitted badly. If you think the camera doesn't matter, then you are a fucking moron.
-
@bh3o81 Just like that GX that you are shooting.
-
@patrujo You're right, I don't, I have a 2.8C Planar. You couldn't give me a GX. It is a piece of shit.

@Polybun .....says the guy without a gx. they're all pretty damn good.
Great camera, I have one too, my father bought it in 1958 and I use it now regulary. What scanner do you use?
