I got to handle Mads' Konica Hexar the day before yesterday while we
had a beer in Copenhagen.

I think I'd have it on my shortlist even if it wasn't 1/3 of the
price. I haven't been doing any pricing for Konicas or for M7:s, but
the Konica definitely felt like quality. Nice viewfinder ... the
works.
