Great (very cheap) lenses, and half and full full frame, choosable for every shot. If a photofinisher ever gives me grief, I can come in with a rollof 35mm film, with every third frame full frame, and the rest half! Please, sir, give my 60 exposure roll the best of treatment, and make sure you balance the flourescents, halogen and daylight shots! This is a half frame camera to be proud of and to use. I tend to use it mostly for record shots, and half frame is made for that. Only I do tend to try to keep to one format at a time. * Henning J.
