Oh, PUULLLEEEEEEEEZE!...Consider all the facts and it is the stupidity
inherent in giving a "designer" control over a functional tool. It would
have been easy enough to put shoes on the prisms..plural...I had an F3 for a
number of year, and will attest to the fact that it was - and still is - a
really terrific camera. But the shoe placement was, well, inane.

And if we can't denigrate a designer here, where can we? By the way, was the
same design genius responsible for that shoe and for not being able to
figure out how to get both a battery and self-timer into an M6, or was that
a different design genius? ;-)
