![]() The 220 models are a bit smaller/lighter and in some ways faster to use: the "gotcha" with the added parallax and distance scales of the 330 is you need to remember to change them to match the lens whenever you change lenses, and the moving parallax indicator in the finder can be distracting. I agree the fixed body-mounted secondary shutter release is the most unsung advantage of the 330 over the 220: it really comes in handy with lenses that require maximum bellows extension at portrait distances (where the standard lens mount shutter release can end up in awkward positions), and couples to a very nice side grip that also works with the RB67 and M645.Īs others have mentioned, the dedicated winding crank on the 330 models is fast to use but doesn't feel as smooth in operation as the basic knob on the 220 models. If you want the auto shutter cocking and parallax correction features at a lower price, consider the original C330 instead of later C330f: they are almost identical aside from a focus locking lever added to the C330f. I quickly traded my C33 for the C330f, which is a more practical usable size/weight and includes nice features like user-interchangeable focus screens and updated parallax/distance readouts for the newer lenses. Two digit models like the C33 are really huge and heavy for TLRs: they can be used handheld (Diane Arbus certainly did fine with them), but they're really a bit much. ![]()
