I do not actually give a hoot whether 3100 or 310000 of these were produced. I just happen to have one, and I like the 0.85 viewfinder, so that is the one I kept. I do not think it is nearly rare enough to have any collector value. Nathan Dan C wrote: > Nathan....I also have one of those "rare" non-TTL bodies.
