As an M-6 user, it would seem to be a reasonable alternative for carrying around as an (expensive) spare or casual camera. > I will admit my heresy. While the M6 is my primary camera, and I usually carry an M4-P or M3 as a second (or sometimes third) body, I have and have been grateful for an Olympus XA. It has rangefinder focus (nowhere near as bright as an M, but it works) and aperture priority, and literally fits in a pocket. I have made pictures with it that hold up quite well to scrutiny. If only it had a pc flash connector, but that's another thread (and another list).... Bill Barrett Webster University St. Louis barrettb@websteruniv.edu http://www.websteruniv.edu/~barrettb
