How to use · With interchangeable backs for 120, 220, 35mm, and Polaroid film, this is a system that makes it easy to switch film formats according to what you are shooting. A common approach is to use it lightly with the waist-level finder, or pair it with an AE/ME prism to streamline exposure handling.

Watchouts · As an electronically controlled shutter camera, it requires a battery; without one, it operates only at the mechanical 1/500-second shutter speed. Even in its standard configuration, it is large and relatively heavy at approximately 1,500 g, and it is not dust- or splash-resistant. It has no AF or digital ISO-setting function, and film sensitivity is set on the compatible film back.
