NOT the TVS III though, which has that drawbridge front door which I don't particularly like, but either a TVS or a TVS II, both nearly identical. It has a Zeiss T* coated zoom lense, manual and automatic focus, exposure compensation, built-in flash with red eye reduction, aperture priority exposure...and gives outstanding pictures for "snap shots". The TVS II is the same as the TVS, but has a built-in lense cover, and I believe they removed the little knob from the zoom, which I believe was a mistake. I bought mine as new, in box for $500...and am VERY happy with it. It's not simply a P&S, as it allows more control than typical P&S cameras... It also has a datE back available for it, and as a note, it prints on the picture, not between the frames. Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
