Too bad it doesn't have exposure compensation - you have to fiddle with ISO settings for that. And since it only goes up to 1000 ASA, it's a bit limited in that regard. Otherwise a really lovely little camera. I use it regularily. > bad news: they didn't make them for very long, hence somewhat > hard to find, and when you do, at least $500-600. I got mine for about 250$ (500 DM). And on ebay you often see it for about 300-400 EUR. If one really want's something _small_, go for this one. It's great. I put it aside an Olympus XA and a Rollei 35, it's just slightly higher than the 35 and a bit shorter than the XA. And the lense is _far_ better than the XA lense and definitely "stiffer" than the 35 one (those often wobble a bit). Oh, and it's definitely not as clumsy to load and use as the 35 (at least for me). Did I mention that it is _small_? :-) bye, Georg - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
