lovely, peter, just gorgeous.
i have to admit, from photos only, i think the contax (w/o meter) may be the best looking camera ever.

The Contax design in a classic _ functional and beautiful. And the ergonimics (once you get used to the Contax hold) are great.

Actually that was a photo that I took using Peter's digi camera. Using it caused me to want one, and I did get a current model Lumix for Christmas. Digital P+S cameras are okay, useful to take shots of real cameras.

Still enjoying the Lumix?
Other people I know have been picking them up as well.

I.S. should be standard on P&S digis.

Joe, if you get the serial number of the camera body from Frank, you can look it up on a sticky on the Zeiss Ikon forum.

We're having a bit of weather today, but I"ll still try to get out at lunch to the post office. If not then, then definitely on the way home.
Is the serial number visible in any pictures? The camera is packed up.

Posted at lunchtime today. XpressPost guaranteed 2 day delivery, tracking number and insured! I chose that over cheaper regular parcel, 6 days maybe. Hope that was the decision you would have made, Joe. I'll PM you the particulars.
