My GR1s came today for ffordes... it's very light!
Bit behind the curve on this one - in answer to your Q - yes, I have a GR1s and the results are consistently great. It's a noisy little bugger but worth it!
I can't wait to run some film though it!
Remember that it pulls the film all the way out when you load it and then pulls each exposed section into the canister.
Ah..offcourse; now that you explain, I am thinking, why wasn't this adopted as industry standard.....such a neat idea
