If that does not give you and edge you can sink your teeth into and totally psyche out every photographer in the area nothing will. Look at the bottom of the page the camera folded. http://www.cameraquest.com/voigtl_bessa_iii.htm There are a lot of pockets that will go into or small bag areas that you'd not even want to put an M with a collapsible lens in perhaps. It is a very small but also very impervious package. Its really in effect in a hard case. Which is in your pocket. Very few things could get me to shoot film but this would be one of them. 60 * 70 = 4200 36 * 24 = 864 4200 / 864 = 4.86 You could scan that puppy on an above average flatbed and blow way people using $40,000 digital cameras. They would have to go home and go to be with no dinner. And there is a meter in it so you don't have to carry around a whole nother thing. 1000 grams 10 shots on a roll 100 grams per shot. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2010 17:12:11 +1000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] fuji finepix x100 video > > I had one of the standard Bessa III that went around 20 photogs nationally > here.
