		<description>The lenses are a matched pair of 80mm German Lumaxar lenses.  80mm for medium format is like a 50mm lens for a 35mm camera.

The f-stops range from 3.5 to 22, but the wicked thing is that there's no clicking between stops - it adjusts fluidly so I can have more subtle changes in aperture.  There's also something like 12 aperture blades, at least - maybe far more - so the out-of-focus regions of the pictures (assuming they turn out alright) should look more pleasant.

The shutter has a bulb setting (hold it open as long as you like) and goes all the way up to 1/500.  The real kicker about the shutter, though, is that it's whisper quiet - I could take pictures with this thing in the middle of a silent prayer group without disturbing anyone.

I got this off of eBay - and I was anxious about whether it functioned...and I'm still a little anxious to see the results of the first roll...</description>
