Cool, but don't you have to take the hood off when you fold the camera?

Oh, that problem.

2) it comes off easily, goes back on easily

1) The camera was given to me because it has a galaxy of pinholes. I tried black nail polish twice, then solvent-diluted Plasti-Dip (for tool handles), and as a last resort painted the entire bellows with it twice...so it's an un-folder for now.

Once I figure out if the rear cell coating spots (only visible in bright direct light reflections) are bad or harmless, I'll think about a new bellows.

It is rather inconvenient carrying a folder around unfolded.

OK, pics of the interior are posted at the linked site.

Sorry, I don't know what kind of paint it was, label has paint on it. Basically an ultraflat, non aerosol.

Can someone tell me if photos can be inserted here, then how? I can see how to insert an image with a URL. I haven't tried calling form the hard drive instead of http://

Thank you

No light leaks, shutter is about 2 stops slow.
