Hi there Jerry ...
The Ansco is a TANK! but that's not as much of a disadvantage as might appear
... the extra weight makes hand holding at slow speed much easier. The loading
of film is a PITA , but it works, and the fact that one has to cock the shutter
prior to shooting is certainly NOT convenient. Other than that, I get excellent
results, but then again, it is possible that I am easily satisfied!
It is a FUN camera ... not unlike my Baby Rollei ... whenever I take either of
them out (which I do regularly), I always get comments from some AK as to
"Where do you get film" or "Gee ... I haven't seen one like that in xxxx years!"
As to Corporate Logic ... having been involved with that for many years, I
defer from answering your question ... in fact, the entire subject may be an
oxymoron!

Hi Sandy:
As you are the only person I have ever heard of that actually owned an Ansco
reflex, I have to ask you about how you like it. How are the controls, etc
compared with a rollei and what kind of results can you get from the lens? It
has always been a mystery to me why Ansco put a less well known lens on so
expensive a camera. What was their logic, do you think?
