I'm another Omegaflex user. Bought the whole rig new many years ago -- all the lenses, all the viewers, extra magazine, spacer (1), ground glass. It's done some wonderful work for me in Europe, California, the East Coast and now here in Nova Scotia. One of the mags has finally broken, the 135mm has a bit of curtain taped over a light leak, the 58mm is pristine and the 180 and 90 more or less intact. I use it on a Reis tripod: no viewers, just the ground glass with a loupe. Pretty much gone to digital now (Canon 10D), but ran a roll of Velvia through this spring to get the negs scanned in my Epson 2450 just to see how they'd print as B&W on the Epsons(very well!). GREAT camera, for slow workers like me.
