I want to upgrade from my Seagull TLR but I don't want to break the bank. I don't want to get another TLR because I really don't care for the WLF. I'm considering the Koni Omega Rapid, which I consider to be an ugly camera but, aesthetics aside (the only aesthetics that count being on the film), it seems to be a pretty good camera. Prices on eBay seem to be affordable and it usually is paired with a 90mm lens that's purportedly a good piece of glass. On the down side I've heard reports that it can develop light leaks where the back joins the body, and that the rangefinder is sometimes inaccurate, necessitating the purchase of a ground glass back for focusing. Does anyone out there have any experience/opinions about this camera?
