Wednesday afternoon is tough. I haven't been potted in the afternoon since my NYC agency days long ago...might be fun again. A couple of observations on the camera: It's heavy and seems well put together. The finish is delicate, a minor rub and I've already lost some paint from the corner of the camera. The limit of three frameline settings is annoying. It was also annoying on the Bessa cameras as well. It would be mice to have a 21mm setting as well, particularly given the 1.5x magnification. It takes excellent pictures. I've only posted the one image, I've got another from yesterday afternoon that?s worthy. Since I bought fgrom a guy who brought it back from Japan, I have no manual, so I'm winging it. More later... M
