I used the Koni Omega on 100s of weddings in my time (1) because it was very quiet during the ceremony and (2) because it gave me the big negative and the quality that went with it. The interchangeable backs were a godsend. It always seemed like, if you had 120, that 13 couples in the wedding party walked down the isle....oops missed the bride. The only problem I had with the Koni Omega was breaking the film advance from all the abuse we put them through. I don't think that would have been a problem if I could have slowed the pace down a little. I never had a problem with the quality of lenses either.
