Hi Frank I started to carry a Olympus XA I bought recently at a flee market with me lately and will leave it in the car when it's not so hot anymore. It is much smaller than any Pentax I have and I have some sweet memories with that camera because it was the first one I had when I was working on a Swiss freighter at the age of 17 --> see my recent pesos from Hong Kong and more to come. With 35mm lens and distance set at 3 Meters and aperture 8, I get nearly everything sharp. The small add-on flash A11 is good enough for up to about Meters.
But, it really depends on my mood and "daily condition" whether I see good photographic moments or not. For me, it's not only about "being there" ... you have to see with your heart as someone else said (Little Prince) greetings Markus > > I really don't think I have a talent for those "rare > moments", I think it's more that I always have my > camera with me, usually preset for exposure and > (hopefully) focus.
