This camera seems quite straightforward, at first glance. But the shutter is super annoying. The charging system is based on gears held in place by friction-fit brass pins - difficult to remove without damaging them, difficult to reinstall. Then inside, the main timing cam has a strong spring underneath it that needs to be wound tightly - but it's difficult to turn the spring because it's underneath. It also has a second spring on it which is so light that it falls off at the slightest movement, and it's also underneath you have to remove the whole thing again to reset that spring. It's not my favourite shutter so far.
