Gotta second the Stylus Epic/mju II. Great little package. Sharp and fast 35mm f/2.8. Easy to handhold, despite its small size. The one annoying thing is that it's dx-coding only, so I can't use my own cassettes (which I load from bulk). The problem is compounded by the fact that I use Diafine...so the necessary EI change means the little Olympus doesn't get used much these days. Gotta get me some DX coding labels. Even though I've been carrying the *ist DS nonstop for the past few days, I'm going to try and keep it real with my film gear. -Luigi http://www.livejournal.com/users/ouij Photos, rants, raves
