It's the stock Heliar 80mm/f3.5 - no choice there!! Tony - I really liked the modern features: lens sharpness and metering, but in the end, I didn't "love" the camera like I do my Rolleiflex, or even my GW680III (which is similar but doesn't fold - making it kind of MASSIVE to carry around). In this pic, it was weird using a rangefinder for studio portraits... but golly is the negative sharp!!
Marc, I was wondering only yesterday, who had the camera at the moment, obviously you do, just across town. I sort of agree with your not loving the camera bit, although the negatives I have from it are blindingly sharp also.
Regarding the photograph above, reminds me of Thunderbirds are Go, with "Brains" glasses being worn by one of your subjects.
I myself wear large glasses, so I know how good they are to see with, plus I also know how often people ask me why I'm wearing my grandfathers glasses.
Mick, I had the camera in August - only got 'round to processing (or starting to process, more accurately) the film this week, on account of house moving... So, I think I was second last on the camera's big adventure - it's probably back with Scott by now.
