Btw, I doubt this was anywhere near as common in analog times then it
is now in digi-times....no 36-shot limit.
Though it is also odd that Canon never supplied a large-roll filmback
like Minolta did with their first-generation 9000AF....
PS: how common is the angled-viewer on these camera's btw?
Only shown once, with another picture of a neck-cramped photographer
trying to do the same without....:))
And in such conditions/environment, it seems as if quite a lot of
camera's could be damaged easily, the viewfinder-ridge (that holds
the angled-viewer) being ripped off the body....typical damage, or
are angled-viewers not used that much at all?
