I used to have mine in a breast pocket when motorcycling but the lens locking button fell of. Image quality is Leica-class, though. All the best!

I'll be sixty in April. I usually carry a Contax T2, which is probably the most used camera I own. I also like the Rollei 35S with b&w film and a yellow filter. I have an Olympus XA and a Minox 35GT, but these get used much less often. The Olympus is really a travel camera for long exposures in dark churches. I like how you can hold the Minox upside down against your forehead and use the lens door as a sunshade, but I think the T2 lens in noticeably better. <snip> Richard
