Better how?

Handy, but not necessary.

And is very loud compared to a M.

Still not really fast enough for sunlight fill.

This mystical flare thing again... all 'yall crazy.

But nowhere nearly as charming.

Totally useless.

Obviously.

A shame.
The Hexar is a nice camera. However, where I shop in Denver, every time
someone has come in and looked at a Hexar, they have bought an M. The three
kit that they got at it's introduction are still there, collecting dust.
That speaks volumes about it, no?
just my very opinionated $.02
