I did like the lens very much, but the camera was extremely unreliable, so I finally gave it to a friend. I'm fond of the Rollei 35SE and my current two "take everywhere" pocketable cameras, the Olympus XA with a 35mm f2.8 lens and coupled rangefinder, and the Olympus XA-4 with a 28mm f3.5. Both are almost as light and compact as the Minox, but have been far more reliable. Mark - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
