No battery needed: the camera works entirely without one. [6]

With the right backs, you can shoot 220 roll film, sheet film and Polaroid pack film in addition to 120 roll film. [1]

The collapsible 100 mm lens, with a maximum aperture of 1:3.5, has to be pulled out before you take a picture, even if the rangefinder images already line up. [5]
