It felt nice. Way more sturdy and comfortable than the Mamiya 6, and many times more comfortable than the 7 or 7II. It has a good, durable heft and everything feels well built/formed/aligned. It just feels like a very high quality machine.
It is really quite compact too, about as tall as the M3 and meter combination , and just about as wide. I did like to viewfinder too - the patch is bright and clearly contrasted, more so than my R3A's viewfinder, which is(was) also nice.
In case anyone was thinking about one of these, and hasn't already read the rants from other members, it really does feel like it will last a lifetime - alot longer than the Mamiya 6/7 seem built to last. Too bad about the really limited lens selection, but it is actually pretty similar to the Mamiya series in that respect.
