You just have to love a TLR. I've got a Mamiya C220 and a couple of lenses, but I've always wanted a smaller TLR with a fixed lens. That Ricohflex VII sure is a gem. I've heard of people converting them for 35mm film, but it kind of defeats the purpose of having a MF. Congrats on the new addition to the family.
