Cute! I'm still getting alerts from ebay when new Minolta HiMatics show up because I'd love a cheap/cool rangefinder. So far, the cheap part is evading me. --------------------------- Sam PS: I keep thinking "I want to take more film photos", but the reality is that I never quite get around to it. Maybe I should at least thin my heard and use the cash from that sale to pick up the rangefinder. Or better yet maybe I should just borrow one from a fellow photog. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
