Cons: one single button controls all exposure modes so you have to keep pressing it until you reach what you want, front chrome plating easily scratched, single exposure compensation setting at +2 EV only, substantial linear distortion in finder (but not in lens), lens a bit slow (around f/4 - 7), rather big in size, probably a re-clothed Mini Zoom. I went out of space stepping back going on vacation last March , considering the short end of the lens being 35mm. The Konica Lexio 70 (28-70mm) gets very good reviews, have a slightly faster lens with more useful range, cheaper, smaller and clad in metal. Given the choice, I'd prefer the Konica now.
