Hello Yefei Thanks for responding. I didn't know that the Aires 35-IIIs had changeble lenses until now. I really enjoy using a rangefinder with manual settings. It's very quiet and can be used at concerts, in the theatre etc. without attracting the same amount of attention, that an SLR camera would. Most people don't even notice that I am in fact taking pictures. I guess the Aires is a poor mans Leica :-) Aries in fact died, I believe, because they didn't offer an SLR in time. I wonder why Pentax never made a rangefinder with changeable lenses ?

(both the pictures of the camera and taken by the camera). I really should take some more pictures with my arsenal of cameras so that I don't feel guilty of gluttony. Every time I look at the cameras, I can't help but group the Aires, Beauty Lightomatic, Graflex Century 35NE (made by Kowa), and Walz Envoy 35RF together. They look so similar to me. Your 35III-A, being a fixed lens camera, is even closer to the other three than the 35V. I guess their odd brand status adds to the sense of resemblence. No, I'm not tempting you to get the other three at all:-) The Aires is more solid than the others, including the feel of the film advance lever. I don't know about their respective lens performance (I shall get them commissioned to take some pictures), but I heard words that the Kominar lens on the Walz Envoy is quite nice.
