I'm giving away my Olympus stylus, and my Minolta that looks like the
Leica Mini.  I can't keep batteries in them, because I never use them.

hmmm,  I'm tending to side with Mark Rabiner here.  I take my M6 or my
CL out.  I almost always use the same film.  The 35 Summicron is glued
to the CL and the 90 mm TE on the M6.

I know the film, I know the cameras, I know the lenses.  I point and
shoot.

The CL fits in even my blazer pocket, but it is faster to use if it is
in my hand.  Point, brain works without me thinking about it, camera
mostly focuses itself, because I don't think about that either, the
needle gets set right, and I don't think about it.  I only think about
composing, and where the light is.

Do you think about when to put the clutch in when you are driving?

I don't have any modes to set.  No shutter lag.

Battery dead?  f11 outside, 5.6 in the shade.

Point, shoot.  finish roll, process.  Look at pictures.  Some are not
what I wanted. Throw them away.

Reload, go point and shoot some more.

Regards,
