Just curious if the camera is usable and if your use it and perhaps not a
bad deal at that half price price.
I realize its not what you wanted. Just curious.
And does not make it excusable. Just a slightly more bearable deal.
Is the T a bit lighter and nicer than a Z (for zinc)? ;)
I just finished reading about how all these fairly key components of a Nikon
camera are done in titanium in the titanium versions.

I wish Leica would get smarter and really stick some titanium that you can
sink your teeth into their Titanium cameras instead of the just a "finish"
over brass. Shame on them it stinks! You get a heavier not lighter camera!
Not that brass is not close to the top of my list.
But is the opposite of titanium in every other way properties wise it seems
to me.
