MLU cameras have more than just that as an advantage. They also beefed up the film transport at that time, which cured some other ills.
I'll most definitely be looking for a body with MLU.
The 6x7 is actually easier to hand hold than a 35mm,
How's that? Looks like it would be pretty big...
but still, it makes much sense to use a tripod with them whenever possible, and a chunky one at that. I have a light weight Manfrotto tripod, the 055 model, which is junior under the 6x7. It just doesn't cut it. Wood tripods are very good with this camera.
I have a Manfrotto 3036 tripod and 3038 ball head, also old 3057 - hopefully those will suffice.
Might need a new backpack, though...
