Hi!
How are you liking your VDS so far? And - if I may ask - how are you carrying it with cassettes and lens? I was thinking it's a bit impractical that you cannot fold it with the lens attached..
Haven't shot one image yet, but intend to shortly. Actually, I've loaded several film holders already, but I need bit of a break between projects around the house. Anyway, as Ken Lee (on this forum) suggested, I sprung up for a large "cooler bag", which was v. light and priced v. reasonably. Sooo, there is plenty of room for film holders, padded lenses, the camera and accessories. Hmmm, I might be able to fold it and keep the smaller lenses attached (ex. 150mm g-claron), but I haven't got to this point. I bought the rig with the idea of storing the lens/es seperately after I'm done....especially the Xenar 360mm :>).

Man you must have been busy..such a nice camera, tempting ..but stored..and not used yet..must be nagging..hope you'll soon find the time !
Good luck,

Indeed, v. nice camera. Hmmm, 1/2 year went with a flash. Went to Canada for 10 days and ended up at some secluded island (Cortes)....and that took 3 ferries to get there. Needless to say, that was an unexpected treat. Then Alaska for 3 weeks (don't have to sell that). Just as I land back here, one day later I'm on the road (1200 mile marathon) to LA to pick up my new truck canopy. Afterwards I meet with long time friends at Burney Falls (state park) and we camp there for a week. Yes, life in retirement may seem busy....tho someone has to do it :>)....and now I'm putting out fires on all these projects that require my attention.
Yes, the mental nagging continues, but....

Did you actually use the camera yet?
And it's very light: 2.7 Kg with the lens mounted!
