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