The optics on the Ikoflex are very nice as well...this one
has the Tessar 75mm 1:3.5 taking lens. I'd love to find the leather
case for it. Another cool thing is that the ASA chart printed on the
viewfinder hood is done in German.

That sounds interesting...I'd think the resolution would
leave a bit to be desired though. It certainly sounds cool.

I would imagine that 120 roll film is more available up here
in the Washington D.C. area as well. Certainly more places to check.
