Easy access and I can just 'flip up the visor' and still see through the viewfinder ok-- it's so small it fits right into the front of my full face helmet. I figure if I go down, the IIIF will be the only survivor anyway! ha! Off topic: NOthing too exciting to drive, but I still have my dad's '68 Yamaha with only 3000 miles on it-- like mint- eh? ha! Had newer bike before, but sold it for more important goodies (ie Leica MIcroscope and acc's! ).... I would fear that if you take your best equipment and wrap it like a crown jewel, you'll never use it for it's true intent: to take photos/memories and not for collecting! ha! Best of luck with the tripa nd post some photos somewhere so we can check them out! Kent
