Thought you didn't like it BD!

I shot a roll with one once. It changed my opinion of the camera. God is
it solid and assuring. There is no delay or feel of a meter arm flopping
around at all like i assumed would be the case.
There are plenty of odd looking cameras out there, the R8/9 for instance
which appears on causal glancing to be awkward poor designs Let's resist
the urge to state positively that the ARE poor designs until we take it
out for a test drive.
It's nice when a tool which does a job looks good. The main thing of
course is how well it does that job.
