It's a wonderful piece of machinery meant to represent what REAL professionals would have used in the days of rangefinders and film -- had it been available then. It's akin to why I bought a couple of Leica screwmounts rather than a Bessa. It's about history and mystique and having something great to hold in your hands. I have plenty of cameras for taking pictures when I really have to get the shot. I also need cameras that I can shoot with when I just want to play with something wonderful.
