Hi Art,
CBUs not supposed to explode immediately - hence kids play with the nice
colourful little things - and get hurt, or killed.
I 'm scanning Chromes taken with the Spotmatic F, while typing this. I
sometimes miss it.
I also had an ESII which was a very good and reliable camera.
Sold them for a Contax and bayonnetted zoom as I found it lighter and
more convenient.
I still have the Takumar 28mm somewhere - a great lense for the time. I
might try it on the L1 some day.
Your ES is a keeper - do you still find batteries for it?
Yours
Philieicangemix.
