They have been lost, stolen and dropped in a lake. Its clamshell design fits into any pocket, it is aperture priority with a backlight switch and it can also be adjusted using the ASA button for exposure. It can take exposures out to 30 seconds (or more?). A wonderful camera for taking night exposures. Has a hot shoe, no built in flash...thank goodness. You can hook it up to anything. Minotar lens is 2.8 - 16, and I believe it is currently sold by Leitz (for Leica content). I never leave home without it.

Nice camera, great lens.
