I have been shooting Agfapan 400 with it, guessing the exposures, and getting great results. And I'm really getting to like the IIIc itself, as well as the pictures it produces. They are sharp, but soft, at the same time. The rangefinder is dead-on and I often shoot it wide open at f2 indoors and I get the most wondrous soft out-of-focus areas that I have ever seen. The camera is small and handles extremely well(I had DAG CLA the shutter and rf). I have been using a Leitz 5cm. brightline finder with it, which gives a 100% view that is bright and can be used with both eyes open jso the framlines float in front of me. Is any one else shooting with SM cameras on any sort of serious basis? I would like to hear about others' experiences. Bob Robertmeier@compuserve.com
