B is a fascinating piece of photographic evolution. What I love about this model is the 'top-down' viewing experience; it forces you to slow down and really consider your frame, much like a medium format TLR but in a 35mm package. It’s a rugged, honest piece of German engineering that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in good working order. The Isco-Göttingen lens is a perfect match, offering a beautiful vintage contrast that is perfect for street photography or nostalgic portraits. For anyone looking for a camera that stands out both for its results and its design, this Erica Mat is a top-tier choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eErica Mat Reflex Mod.
