I have one too. It's built like a fine Cadillac tank. Really feels impressive. Unfortunately it's severely "over-built" IMO. Supposedly wanted to compete with the Rolleiflex and failed because it offered little more at about the same price and they could not convince people to get it instead of a good Rolleiflex. I feel the same. My 2.8E Planar I much prefer, but keep my Ansco as a curiosity.
I like to look at the Ansco more than I like to use it. :-)

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?
