I always wanted to have a medium-format camera, but i’m a poor student. On one lucky day, i found this camera and was really amazed that the camera works. So my way led me to the next camera-shop and i bought an Ilford 100 Delta 120. I was very cautious with taking pictures, because my thoughts were always of the price for the film, 5€. That was twice as much as i paid for the camera. I realized that the numbers for focussing the camera and the name of the camera are missing, so i looked for in the internet, what took me one hour. Anyway, the Stafetta-Duo is totaly amazing and one of my first choices for bright light.
The S-D has 3 shutter settings: 1/25, 1/50 and B. As well, two aperture settings: a sun and a cloud. I prefer 1/50 in combination with the cloud, to play safe with 100 ISO films. I didn’t try the yellow filter, because i just uses B/W films yet. The S-D also has a hot-shoe, i checked it and was marveled that also this was working.
Checking the first roll, I noticed the vignetting and the blurry corners. So, i totally felt in love with this camera. There’s just one thing missing. A cable release connection.
