I was hoping to find Fuji Reala > 100, but might have been too much to ask. I've just bought one of these, too (for while my M3's overseas, being repaired), and I'm enjoying it immensely -- I love shooting in portrait orientation "by default", the negs look great (no scanner for 120 yet, but I'm thinking about it!) and it's an easy camera to like. I've fumbled a roll while unloading it once, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Most of the pro labs left in Sydney still sell 120, though I haven't been able to find Neopan 400 over the counter yet. Perhaps ebay's the way to go -- at least in Australia, I can get rollfilm cheaper than store prices from a couple of enterprising local sellers... jv -- Justin Viiret <justin@sprawl.com.au> :: http://jv.sprawl.com.au/ Jack of some trades.
