I remember clearly the digs on Deardorff over the years on the forum here and steered clear of them until I happened upon a 1940 Marine V11 locally several years ago. Could not pass it up and I must confess that although I had my doubts that it would work out it has been a joy to use. Yes, it is heavy and big but it is simple to use in the field and locks down perfectly to make fine images. You just need to grab it with both hands and finess it a bit. Great Camera!
