A friend of mine had one and he liked it a lot.

See also latest issue of Popular Photography for review and lens tests.

Personally, I just use my Brooks Plaubel Veriwide 100 with 47mm S-Angulon and
run a short 35mm slide film through it. Film stays flat inside, somehow. I use
a Rolleikin spool to take up the 35mm film in this 6x9 rollfilm camera. A
rewind the film back into the cassette in the dark. And I can shoot 6x9 as
well. Best of both worlds to me. Trannie size is 24x90mm, a ratio of 1:3.75
not bad. I use the viewfinder from my Linhof 617 to compose.

And I can do the same trick with my 80mm lens on my 6x7 Plaubel Makina.

Drawback is you can not use camera in the field again without taking a
changing bag with you.
