He wasn't fibbing when he suggested it was in unusually good shape -- it's Just Lovely. I'm spending a disturbing amount of time gazing at this object and making it go. It's much too pleasing. I've puzzled out most of its workings. The other day, I discovered experimentally both what that odd lever by the rewind knob is and why the rangefinder was often a mite hard to use. H'mm -- pleasing that the rangefinder isn't intrinsically fuzzy, but a potential 'nother extra step before getting a picture taken. I was wondering, though, if someone in the assembled company could offer me a hint about the one piece of gizmory which remains a mystery: the little set of numbers, counting off in evens from 0 to 20, around the base of the shutter-speed dial, and their associated movable ring. Whazzit?
