I'm surprised it doesn't have Image Stabilization!

It uses the Illy-system image stabilization system, or as some people call it, decaf.

I always have loved single focal length zoom lenses. You see them on eBay all the time!

Sounds like a pretty decent Retina...just beware that batteries for this model are very tough to find...

Same size as the Leica M4P and most Rolleiflexes.

Seen's how ya'll are into esoteric cameras and such I have one for sale. It's a mintish Compure camera with a Schneider lens. The serial number is 6.3f105 At just US$ 495 it is priced to sell so if you want it you'd better hurry.

I might have bought it from you but you didn't say,"L@@K! R@RE!" and unless it's minty or chocolatey, I'm really not interested.....

Oh yes, but I am pretty sure the TTL exposure cameras use a slightly different voltage.






Thanks folks, I'm here all week!
