I've had the camera for about three months, and I am having a wonderful time with it. It does have a learning curve all its own: everything really is mechanical, of course, and if I don't follow the steps---no picture! The one item I really need to watch out for is to reset the focusing spar to infinity every time, or I will get some odd results. Also, loading it takes some getting used to. No complaint, just observations about using a camera that is almost as old as I am.
But it really is a tremendous amount of fun! It's all shiny metal, with lots of knobs and dials and a sharkskin(?) cover, (or something that feels sort of like sharkskin should feel like.) And after using my Nikon N80, this is a tiny little camera by comparison. Surprisingly heavy, though for something so small. And of course I have to slow down and think, and do the get-ready meditation for each shot, so far. But I'm getting a little more practiced with it. I'll try to post some pics later on. BTW, it has the Summitar 5cm f/2 collapsible lens with it.
Just wanted to share.
With best regards.
