Not that bad at all, not perfect but it preforms good.

Its easy to use have good image quality.
You focus by pulling a big level underneath the lens that works great. This makes it quick and easy to focus and is allot better then many other similar cameras.
But in short this is a great camera!
Thumbs up:
Easy to use.
Good image quality.
Thumbs down:
Glow effect wide open
When you crank to the next frame you also crank up the shutter automaticly and I´m not a big fan of that.
Its not a big problem and I only crank to next frame before I´m going to take a new image.

Concerning your complaint about automatic cranking: most film cameras made after the wor dind have this interlocking, when you move film to the next frame, you also crank up the shutter!
However, in Flexaret you can beat this, and perfrom multiple exposures: reach under the lower lens, and manually crank the shutter. Now you can take another picture on the same film frame!

For portatis and other close-up jobs, the paralax error may be an issue, you must be careful. But a set of close-up additional lense was available, and the adapter for the upper (viewing) lens of the camera did include a prism, which tried to compensate thsi paralax error …
