Yahoo! An AE M camera I can use my M accessories on! SOOKY-M, Visoflex 3,
M-winder, et al. And, most important of all, manual wind and rewind! I hope
they used the same lasts forever and quiet shutter with just electronic
controls. Yikes! I had better get "She Who Must Be Dismayed" prepared.
Flowers, her favourite dinner and slavish obedience * for the next eight
months ought to do it.
