	I've had trouble with horizontal overexposure streaks 2mm x 2.5 cm
about 2cm down from the top on the right side of the neg after using the
shift features on the 150U.
	And the viewfinder (despite Peter Noble personally assuring me that it
sees "99%") all too frequently allows me to include my very own shadow
tastefully decorating the lower lefthand corner of too many images. It
is also very light, so when using it in any kind of wind and on a
tripod, make sure it doesn't blow over like mine did to end up as a
designer doorstop in the studio (along with a Nikkor 105mm with a bullet
hole in it).
	I've shot hundreds of rolls through my Noblexes, and if they ever
correct the horizontal streak problem, then it will be nearly perfect.
On average, I'd say it takes about 100 rolls to get used to a camera.
