Phil had the IIIf from the beginning and replaced it with a IIIc. I was reading it (projecting, actually) as if he had the IIIc first and then they IIIf (that is what happened to me.). But now that Kenneth decided to lighten his load ... I picked up a IIIc again. Like Phil, I love these little cameras.
