I never owned or actually shot with one, but I worked in a camera store in Harvard Square in the 70's. That was a very popular camera. Maybe not top shelf like Nikon Canon or Pentax, but back then it held it's own. It had comfortable ergonometrics, and the lenses were at the very least, good. The choice between centerweighted averaging and spot metering was very unique. I can't remember any customer complaints. Of course, this was 50 years ago...

Many thanks for your info and encouragement, Dave. The question is, can we truly bring back old time photography if we don't have a wet darkroom?
I took a year-long b&w film class in 1990. Sadly, I didn't keep many prints, even though I had a little darkroom (found a used enlarger to buy) and we did printing at the community college as part of the class.
For me yes because when I started out I used mostly slide film and had the lab processed them. I switched to color negative films when I setup my own darkroom.
