I have used this nice RF a few times but never really felt happy with it

The lens is great, weight and ergonomics are OK. But…the darn (un)safe mechanism for opening the back gets me every time. It opens the back unexpectedly, while you are manipulating the camera for that unique shot. I cannot get to tape over it to avoid turning by itself, which is of course the solution.

In this roll, however, I got lucky and caught it just before disaster. Only one frame ruined, and the rest came out quite ok. A very dark, stormy day, and boats unloading.

Film was HP5+, in DK50 1:1, and all these shots were 1/100 @ f/8.
