Man, it looks ugly... Bruce, I am letting myself to assume that you had not intention of insulting me in any way. Well, if it were not pictures and spec sheets of various cameras that I could find on the Net, chances are I wouldn't be writing this very e-mail today. As you might know, I chose my ZX-L camera purely by spec sheets and pictures. I must also say that looking ugly and being solidly built and smoothly operable has little connection with one another. There're people on this list for whom color of their camera body and lens seems to be important. Well, it strikes me as a particular oddity but obviously I wouldn't mean that as an insult. Simply for them it matters and has some meaning and importance... For me at the moment it is important to learn how to load properly film into my ME Super... Again, I really hope you did not mean to offend me... --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57 www.photosig.com/viewuser.php?id=38625
