Hi Folks,
Just joined having managed to purchase an MPP MK VII Technical camera in red with a 12cm Schneider Angulon Lens (compur shutter) from a well known auction site.... picked up half a dozen double sided holders and a 6x7 RF back at same time so will probably be looking for advice/comment from you lot in the not too distant future!

I have a Mk6 and a half. Mk6 with Mk7 mods: international back, mainly. Came with a 180mm Schneider Symmar lens/Compur shutter. I also had to look for DDS's separately. Finding them isn't hard but some of the prices.........! I also picked up an MPP 6x9 back. I have no idea why, they look really awkward to use but it seemed like a good idea at the time :) On the plus side, my 4490 scanner can do up to 6x12 but not 5x4.
