great shots and yes, i like that second one a bit better too.

mine needs a good cleaning, the vf is a bit cloudy and i notice it flares quite a bit also.
going against the flow but i'm thinking i prefer my oly 35 rc to most of the rf's that are out there. it's a bit slower but the lens is so sharp.
and by the way, i still have a minolta 9 sitting here waiting for a good home.

I agree Joe. The Oly RC is the better lens. However, since I use my rangefinders for 400 speed B/W and color film, it's a waste of time for me to worry about lens sharpness much anymore. My Oly RC, Canon GIII QL-17 and Vivitar ES, are more than sharp enough for my needs. They all deliver great results. If you aren't familiar with the Vivitar ES, you'll want to be. A great design and a very sharp 40mm 1.7 lens, plus "flash-matic" exposure. Very similar to the Hi-Matic 7sII.
