Spec Notes

Fully manual: NO meter, NO battery, nothing electronic. Seiko #0 interlens leaf shutter with 5 blades, 1s-1/500. Coupled rangefinder. The 6x7 and 6x8 bodies differ from the 6x9 ONLY in the film gate - same body, same lens. 6x8 on 120/220. Lens is 6 elements in 4 groups. 67mm filter. GENERATION III adds rubber body armour, a spirit level, a push-button spool release and a rectangular rangefinder patch in place of the round one. THIS BODY IS REAL AND IS FREQUENTLY DOUBTED - multiple dealer listings confirm it. No 6x8 body exists before this generation. Weight not published.
