No thanks... I used my Agfa's before OM, and still like them alot. The
folders compare very well in weight and compactness, the thing that makes it
so nice as a walkaround camera for me are: Nobody is affraid of this camera,
only one lens, so I know what I will see, completely manual, so in a way a
very relaxed time composing pictures, also knowing I only have twelve
exposures! Maybe we could do a [OM][OT][vintage 6*6] from time to time.
I wish you lot's of amusement with this folder.
Iwert
ps and no, you won't forget about the OM's...
