Carlos,At least Fritz Henle didn't think of the SL66 just as a studio camera. It replaced his TLRs quite often in later years and he liked the added flexibility with exchangeable lenses and the bellows movement. Very little is differently from a TLR really as the focus in the same familiar spot as is the shutter release and rewind crank. I have used it as a "field camera" quite a bit and lov ethe ability to go down to a few centimeters close-up op a mushroom, or flower without any addtional gear (except perhaps reversing the 80mm Planar on the same bayonet). Ingenious design!
