I urge you to seek out and try a IIIa-to-IIIf with a *coated* 5cm
collapsible Elmar.  It will not *outperform* the Minilux or the Ricoh or
the Z2X (if performance is taken to mean a combination of technological
features *and* image quality) but it will give you an interesting
perspective on just how far things have *not* improved with today's
"premium" P&S's vs. an outfit of approximately the same size/weight of 50
years ago.

Regards,
Nigel
