Stephen Gandy well describes this camera as clumsy at best. Although bigger than an LTM finder, the viewfinder/rangefinder isn't very distinct and you focus awkwardly with a knob where you would expect to find the rewind crank. I'm pretty impressed that Dad did so well. Slightly better than a Summarit? Interesting. Especially since its a stop faster! Simon >Simon, >I like the look of these pix.
