[...] > I thought at least one of the early P&S was all Minolta with a red dot! Oh, yeah! I remember at least one -- with a 40mm lens which doubled to 80mm at the touch of a button. Was it... the AFC-1, or am I remembering the acronym-laden name of something else? Leica added at least a red dot and some courderoy-ribbed rubber and a nice leather case and some dollars to the price. I actually bought one, and was never seriously disappointed with it optically. -Jeff Moore <jbm@jbm.org>
