Hi, Cotty, I think I'm gonna like this camera, so I won't have to buy hob-nails boots and a ticket to London. Whew!
It's a little gem! Haven't put any film in it yet (but will on the weekend!), but the focus and aperture rings are going to take a while to get used to. That's a tiny little lens barrel. Can't wait to take it on the street, tho'! Nope, I'll have to save my visit to the Mother Country for a ukpdml airshow meet. By the looks of the pics you posted, I'll have to invest in some really long, really fast glass, so I can fit in! Thanks for your comments, though, Cotty. I probably would have bought the Leica without your words, but they did help swing the balance! <g> (not to put any pressure on you or anything) regards, frank Cotty wrote: > Congrats Frank - it truly is a great little camera.
