For some reason I sold it (3.5 was probably just too slow). About a year ago I considered picking up another one for just what you say (it is slightly smaller), but felt they were going for a bit too much money. My ideal would be one of them and a 35mm (carpenter's dream, flatter than a board). I have the 35mm viewfinder from Leica, so maybe I will someday. I'd probably go for one of the CV lenses though. It's not much of a problem anymore. I always have a camera over my shoulder now so most people around me are used to it. I don't need to stuff it in my pocket. (And my pants hang down far enough below my belly the way it is :) ) Daniel At 08:04 13.03.2003 -0500, you wrote: >Daniel: > >Minimalist?
