Hi Al, Having looked at t'internet for details of this camera (and trying to remain on topic), I'd stick with it. OK - so its aperture priority only, but it appears to be a very neat rangefinder camera - maybe not in the same league as leica, but is seems to be good enough. I'd stick with it. Especially if you're doing B&W.
