Thanks! It's a great camera. I fell in love with it in 1967, couldn't afford one until I traded my entire Leica kit for one in 2002. Sold that one after a couple of years as my needs and finances changed. I've missed it since ... bought this one last December.Godfrey - the SWC is awesome. Great to see it being applied more creatively than is usual.
Can't wait for my holiday so I can take mine out for a good spin.

I just bought one of theseThanks! It's a great camera. I fell in love with it in 1967, couldn't afford one until I traded my entire Leica kit for one in 2002. Sold that one after a couple of years as my needs and finances changed. I've missed it since ... bought this one last December.
It is an intoxicating camera in so many ways. The lens, the simplicity of it, etc etc.

Damn! I wish people would not post fine pictures like this one taken from 617 cameras. It just fuels my lust all over again for having one and I am actually saving up for Leica X Vario.New toy to play with

Darn. Must not look, must not look, must not look...

Great exposition of why the SWC is so awesome. The difference in scale between the two trees and the person is a great composition.

PS If it helps, I've done all my MF scanning for the past 2-3 years on an Epson v700 plus judicious use of Vuescan - which is enhanced further by reading the 'Vuescan Bible' as recommended to me by Cindy Flood , iirc.
Thanks!Very nicely done, Shawn! The V700 works well, as LouisB suggested. I went whole hog and bought a Nikon Coolscan 9000, which is wonderful.
