Massive is the first word that comes to mind when describing this camera. It's huge even by today's standards. This camera easily dwarfs most others and is on par with modern full frame DSLRS in terms of scale. It feels wonderful though to shoot and all that mass makes it extremely stable. It has an FL mount which is the same as FD just without the automatic aperture control. It's a fantastic camera to shoot with. I got mine basically for free as I was really after the Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 that was attached.

My Copy's Performance
The camera seems to be mostly working fine. Film advance and rewind work OK. I did have a small catch/tear on the very last frame but that might have been due to wasting so many frames in the beginning of the roll. The aperture on very fast shutters either doesn't seem to reopen fast enough. 1/500+ so these speeds should probably be avoided. Additionally the fast speeds seem to be be slow. Guessing that 1/500 is in fact 1/400 or so and 1/1000 is 1/500. Regardless fast speeds shouldn't be used. The viewfinder is bright but the cruft is annoying. You can see the meter needle fine but I don't trust the meter. I ended up removing the battery and metering with my phone when testing.
