That is soooooo cool!! Even if you can never get the film processed (assuming you can find it at all), those things are little jewels. At that price, worth owning just to fondle and to show your friends. I have an old Minolta 16 II sub-mini, for just those purposes. I see no problem fondling and showing off your equipment - oops, did I say that? <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
