Hi Paul,
now you are overdoing it ;-) IT DOES NOT HAVE TTL FLASH. All it has is
flesh-o-matic plus matchneedle to balance your flash with ambient
exposure manually. Which is still quite good, but TTL flash is
something completely different.
About the quality though, I would definitely say that a lot of these fixed
lens rangefinders can be way better than 40/2.8 Pancake! Canonet III
17, this Konica, some Olympus... The problem is that some of them had
not that good built quality - I can tell you, I have disassembled
several. Especially the Olympus was pretty poor in that regard.
Good light!
