Yes, stainless is the way to go. I love the RB even as heavy as it is. I see many on ebay at a very reasonable price. Most are from Japan, but to me, that is a plus. They are well taken care of. Thank you for all the links and info. I appreciate it verty much. I just ordered some film, so here I go, backwards! Feels very exciting!
Another photog and I use to shoot high school football with our RB's at the daily we worked for back in the '70's.
Zone focus, and shoot when the play got into the zone.
We could use flash back then. Had a Braun RL-515.
Blew away anything 35mm would do- technically at least.
When it was printed in the paper, you couldn't see the threads on the uniform that we saw on the print we gave them, but it was fun showing it off to the other photogs.
Just needed 2 good images per game and we usually hit at least 2 games each in one night.
