Thanks Julian, I picked the camera up today and I see what you mean about it not being especially difficult to figure out. - complex it is not! I use a polaroid back on my Hasselblad and the rangefinder is just like the ones on my M's, only not as bright. The Leica-style parallax correction was a nice surprise, however. I'm not too worried about the lens - it's going to be used for grip & grins indoors with on camera flash, so I'm not exactly pushing technical envelopes. :-) I'll try to remember the shutter cocking thing.
