Hi,
I have a question. Is it possible to attach a ground glass to Gaoersi 617 when the film is already on? AFAIR, it is impossible to do in Fotoman 617.

Even if you could, how can you focus through the film?
Of course that's the key point, I don't know why I didn't think about it. Sorry for this stupid question. Anyway, thanks for response.
What about changing the lens mid-roll? As I've just read on Fotoman's site, changing the lens mid-roll in Fotoman 617 equals to losing one frame (there is no way to "cover" the film during this operation). Is it the same in Gaoersi? I hope this question is, hm, better than the previous one...
The lens can be easily changed mid roll with a Gaoersi, just insert the darkslide, you don't lose any film or a frame at all.

The GF does not have a removable back. The model that allows the back to be removed weighs more so I passed on it. I tend to carry my stuff and weight is an issue.
I have found the finder to be a little less then precise but the lens falloff and general off axis dimness of the f8 lens and center filter/polarizer make ground glass viewing a pain so while I lugged the ground glass and a focusing cloth at first I now just go with the finder.
I added a 55mm polarizer to the finder with some adhesive putty to allow me to preview and then set the polarizer on the taking lens.
Here is a picture of my setup from a spot that is at about 10,500 feet up the side.

This shows the polarizers, center filter, lenshood etc. I have a velcro pad on the side that my cable sticks to because it prevents the camera from sitting stably on a surface when it is routed through the handle.
