I'll say again and I've said that unlike SLR's on a tripod not having to lock up mirrors because it's a rangefinder is a real pleasere. Click and then someone says "modern SLR's have such smooth mirrors you don't have to lock them up any more it says so in the directions (which is why their is no mirror lock)) To which Jim, Myself and others, Henning probably all say BULLHOCKEY!!! "lock that darn mirror up or die in your own filth!!!!!!" TGIF HAPPY HOLLOWEENIES! mark rabiner
