After six months, I sold the Hexar because it was not used much. It is a great compact camera, but the Minilux complements an M system better, primarily because it is a more compact camera. I also have a Contax T2, and like it a lot. But there again, I have been using the Minilux increasingly more often, so I will soon sell the T2. The Minilux is not as ergonomic, but offers me more control than the T2. The Minilux has several annoying shortcomings (fiddly flash control, which reverts to Auto rather than non-flash when you turn the camera off; poor viewfinder). I slowly got used to these shortcomings, and now am quite happy with it. - - Phong > From: U.SCH@t-online.de (Ulrich Schroeder) > I had an Konica Hexar 35 for three years.
