Hi Douglas,
you're right it was heavily built and heavy to carry - I enjoyed it in 
Italy a lot though, but found the 42mm thread was long to unscew/screw 
back and thus got a Contax 139. BTW The best ergonomics I've ever had - 
Porsche design if I remember well. But as many first electronics, it 
passed away quite quickly.

PS OFF list ;-)
Did you enjoy the sunshine today? I wanted to get air and sunshine but 
did not manage to shoot anything worthwhile. :-(
