n wondered why people don't get arrested for theft of the shopping carts... those things cost more than a good used LX. There is a thriving business around here in retrieving carts - the store pays a fee to guys who roam the neighborhood in a pickup and steal the carts back. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com

I like the M20/4. Mine was inexpensive, and I like its small size, so it has a built-in cost/convenience/value factor for me. This weekend I plan to post some evaluation shots of the M20/4 using the *istD, which won't help film users much because of the crop factor. -- John Mus
