Now, this is a lovely camera. Quite large and heavy, and it feels very solidly made!

5 Film rewind, cold shoe, meter and film advance lever. I love the depth-of-field scale. That's why I choose mostly this for landscapes.

6 to open the hinged back-door, I move the small button from "P" to "O", and push down.

I absolutely love this camera. It is beautiful, and the lens takes really sharp images! One of my best buys!

Anders, I was hoping for you to produce some fine examples of how sharp this Yashinon is and not to show us beautiful, but only digital pics of the camera itself. We talked about this Minister 700 some six months ago.

I actually have, though I may have left out that they were shot with the Minister. Still, I hadn't posted shots of this nature, so I thought it would be of general interest. It's not the most common model

I have it. I think it is 6 element, very sharp lens.
