I borrowed this huge thing from a friend, it even came with a lot of unexposed rolls, mostly expired since 1999.
Until now, I felt my Leica M2 was a heavy camera, now it feels like a pocket digicam! This one is really a completely different approach, and the ergonomics are at first everything but intuitive.

Franklin Park's Overlook Ruins, the site of the original Overlook Shelter, part of Frederick Law Olmsted's original park plan and one of the few buildings he designed. The structure had several uses over time including the park police station during the 1920's and 30's, before it burned to the ground in the 1940's.
A picture of the original structure as it once stood can be found here (I believe the remains of this staircase would be on the far right side of the building as you are facing it):

This rig is actually very well balanced. I was out for a walk this afternoon in light snow and -12 C, with some TMY 400 ASA rolls to take some handheld shots. It felt good and worked out nicely.
