Pentacon Six - The Monster........That Bites

The Pentacon SIX medium format SLR camera was made by Pentacon in Dresden, East Germany from the mid 60s to the early 90s, my copy dating from somewhere around 1971. It shoots 6x6 cm images on 120 roll film (or 220 film if you find any). I've had a bit of a love hate relationship with this camera since I got it - there's always that risk that it will turn round and bite me, but it will remain in my collection for the time being.
