They did not feel as good in my hands as the M4's, which I continued to use during this period, and I finally got rid of them; partly for the overall feel, and partly because of the strap attachments (I had the 2-lug design), and partly because I couldn't meter with the 21/3.4 and 15/8 anyway, and the former was always one of my main lenses. The meter was accurate, and the overhanging shutter dial was a delight to use in conjunction with the speeds in the viewfinder. Probably I should have kept them instead of getting the stupid M4-2's. But hey, that's hardly the last time I made the wrong decision about photographic equipment. :-) * Henning J.
