Sometimes lightning strikes twice
Well it makes sense to carry two with you, one over each shoulder to balance you out. Otherwise you will just be walking in circles.

At 1200g sans lens, I'd rather carry my Bronica ETRSi and get the huge increase in image quality.
I’m sure the pros that used this beast also had assistants to carry the heavy gear. It doesn’t seem that heavy when I hold it. It’s well-balanced. Perhaps I’ll change my tune after schlepping it around several hours.
Actually it is 1400g as you do need 8 AA batteries in there. Still you do get 8fps and auto focus, unlike the Bronica which is manual focus and no fps.![]()
OMG, could you imagine MF with 8 frames per second? Hold down the shutter, BRAAAAP, done. Whole roll gone in a heartbeat.

The Hasselblad EM has a motor drive, though not capable of 8 fps. Did Rollei make a motor drive for the SL66 series?

Who needs 8 frames per second. Buy a movie or video camera instead. Better yet, learn to take a proper photograph in one shot and catch the optimal composition.
No “spray and pray”?
Real photographers, amateur and profession, do not need to do that.

Oh we're into "real photographers" again...sigh...

Should be safe; I believe there is a cut off in the prism if its over voltage but not certain.
Older Nikon film era flashes work exceptionally well and are not very useful for the newer digital so often can be found for low cost; the Nikon speed lights are a nice jump from a 285. I used both the 282 and 285HV's for years until I started using the SB-24, which was nearly the equal of the 285 in durability but added in TTL which I increasingly used. Avoid the SB-25 which has a pin than will break.
