My Original Leicaflex goes (almost) everywhere I do and is a delight to use. Of course it has its limitations, but because it's moderately priced it gets taken along and used when more versatile cameras are safe at home. I can't think of a better way of getting ultimate mechanical finesse at a lower price. Go for it! Regards, Richard Setchim Tokyo
