I cant help thinking if there were >any good than I'd have at one point in my life seen one. I occasionally used my S2, sold it, and now have an S3 which I occasionally use. The glass is excellent, very nice, kind of a Sonnar look to everything. The viewfinder is less than stellar. I've looked through other S3s and they're all the same. Kind of dim compared to the Leica M3. Tom Abrahamsson regularly carries around his SP which is rather tattered looking. So there are some S-users out there. But very few I think would claim that the *body* was better than the Leica. We are all fans of the early Nikon lenses. If the Nikon->Leica M adapter were more available, we'd be using that. That's part of the reason that Mr. Kobayashi came out with the Voigtlander Bessa R2S - to allow us to use the wonderful S glass. Karen -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
