Most of them have very good comments about this camera and the performance of this 28mm f2.8 lens. However, minority sad the pictures were not that impressive for a compact camera at that price tag ! I am now eyeing on it to the next compact camera in my bag besides the leica M6. Please send me comments about this camera and the performance of the lense. Thanks... Singapore Lugger, Dennis Thong. ........................................ Dennis, I found it to be a superb camera and lens. Almost indistinguishable lens quality from the Leica Summicrons I have. I make 16X20 b&w and color from my GR1 negs. BTW, in March '99 I could only find a single GR1 at Mustapha's in Indiatown. No other store in SG had one. I ended up getting mine in Penang where it was the last one. Are they available now in SG? Bill Lawlor
