Thanks for the info, Pascal, and nice photo--any plans to create some
landscaping to go with it? :-)

Bill, the problem with Z is that you don't have the superb Japanese power
units as you do in N--all you've got to choose from are German and
American-made units ;-) and as we all know, nothing in N runs as good as a
Kato!

But the shopping experience with Z is very similar to shopping for Leica M:
Such tiny products, and such hefty pricetags! I want the Swatch that looks
like the top of an M6--to wear, not to collect.
