The good:

·         Focus is smooth and accurate.

·         Film transport is smooth and solid.

·         Aperture blades move freely.

·         Flash works as expected.

·         Light meter reacts to light well and tends to expose well for the shadows.

The less good:

·         As its standard with these cameras, the grip is a little sticky.
