Yes indeed Monty,
I'm so pleased to have found one in such good condition after so may 
years of "abstinence". Not sure whether it's the size of my hands, but 
for me it's the perfect camera.
I'm just recharging the battery pack and connecting it to a small 
electric motor (from an old slot-car) to discharge it and then 
recharging again to "re-form" the Nicads, the pack isn't retaining the 
charge as well as it should - probably hasn't been regularly charged for 
years.
I think 3 or 4 cycles should do it - If it doesn't, I'll take it round 
to our local electrician and ask him to replace them with something more 
up to date.
In the meantime I'm playing with the bellows on a DSLR, I never used 
bellows before so I've now got something new to learn.
Cheers
Douglas
