>>2959056I've got one here is my take:
Like:
- The lens is superb, 40mm f1.7 is very usable and adjusting focus is snappy
- Small(ish), can be your sole camera when travelling but it wont fit into your trouser pockets
- Can operate happily without a battery
- Leaf shutter
- QL mechanism is awesome and very useful for reloading film quickly.
- About a 1/10th of the price of a Leica and just as usable well made
Dislike:
- This is my first proper rangefinder and I realised I don't like rangefinders. The parallax rangefinder mechanism are usually quite worn on these cameras and it's difficult to focus properly. In low light it's nearly impossible.
- The battery you need doesn't exist anymore. Instead you'll need to get a hearing aid battery and make a metal shim (small metal insert) so the battery fits snug inside the compartment. This might be a bit of a pain but it does work
That's about it really. I should use mine more because I've shot about 6 rolls with it and they are more or less OK. Might sell it at the end of the year though... Where are you located OP?
Don't buy anything from Pakistan, it's usually shit and comes damaged.
