Hi Tina - My wife has used (sequentially) a screw-mount, an M-4, a CLE and an M-6 for over 40 years. We're "travel" nuts, and burn rolls and rolls of 'chrome on every outing. I must admit that her choices of subjects, camera angles, lighting and composition are consistently superior to mine <sigh>. However, when I asked her what she wanted for her seventieth birthday, she replied "I want to see the Vermeer exhibit in The Hague - - - - and, I want a Minilux. I want a 40mm lens and fill flash I'm tired of changing lenses! I want a good camera that I can slip into my pocket." Needless to say, I'm now the user of both our M-4 and M-6 - - - and we *did* see the Vermeer exhibit, via a Smithsonian tour, as they were the only ones that had tickets left! She's learned to use that Minilux! Her 'chromes are still better than mine. :-( George George Berger gberger@his.com
