In general I have found the SL66 best suited as a studio camera.

John,
I have occasionally brought the SL66 with WL finder to cities although
most often I opt for the more compact and quiet 3.5E TLR (Xenotar).
I find the 50mm Distagon (28mm equivalent?) quite ideal to photograph
buidings and interiors. Certainly it is very sharp. Unfortunately, the 50
mm D. makes the camera rather bulkier again compared to the 80mm Planar. I
great compromise would be the more compact but rare 3.5/ 60 mm Distagon,
if you can find one.

Does any one use a SL66 for travel to older city centers?
If so which lenses do you bring? How important is a 40mm lens for old
tight quarters?
I am a little concerned about the weight, but the close focus ability and
clarity of slide film on a good size screen are my reasons for considering
it.
