@hexar_hp5 - what do you think of the lens? no one has commented on that yet.

I shoot it at f2 whenever possible.
Obviously, it is not at its sharpest wide open, but it is acceptably sharp, and the bokeh is very much to my taste.
In fact, I've bought 46mm ND filters so I can shoot wide open outside.
i think i really need to just go back to shooting more with my RF and see how i cope with the MF.... As many have mentioned, a fast reliable AF is just so tempting...
It's a very good and fast easy-going camera, with a very good lens.
But the lens does vignette wide open, and even at smaller apertures a bit.
I see it when i use slide film and the sky is in the shot, every time.
Sharpness-wise, there is no need for anything better.
It is also very durable and very low power consumption. The battery in mine is going since ages. The previous owner bought spare battery - the spare battery is expired; he never had to change the one that is in it. I got it almost two years ago i think; did not change the battery that was in it.
And it takes a while to get used to the buttons.
