Hi! BD> I bought a film *ist as a backup to my *istD. Overall, it is quite BD> nice and has enough features. Pretty usable overall. Certainly not BD> an MZ-S by any stretch of the imagination, but at 1/3 cost, there are BD> not very many features on the MZ-S that it is lacking.
BD> My daughter has been "testing" it for me, and she really likes it! BD> I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it back when I need it. BD> Especially she likes the general handling and she has been learning BD> how to use DOF preview - the switch for that is the same as the MZ-S. BD> Anyway, here's another vote for a great little film camera. In it's BD> price range, it is very fine. Bruce, may I ask you, how's *ist's viewfinder compared to MZ (not -S) cameras? Is it any useable for manual focusing? Thanks. Boris
