Yeah - and there was the weird Sport from 1935 (?) by GOMZ, the introduction date is a bit uncertain but it is supposedly the world�s first 35 mm SLR, beating Exakta by some months. And the dating of Zenit is a bit uncertain, too. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho
