It, with my Hexar RF, would seem to be a very nice travel or street camera. Please let us know how it fares in its image quality. If you can send me some scans offline, that would be great. I don't NEED a Tri-Elmar, but it would be nice being able to buy ONE lens that I don't need instead of three separate lenses that I don't need!
