I know Santa is bringing me cameras, since I bought some of them ;-) The wife and kids get to wrap them Sat, 19 Dec 2009 05:59:58 GMT Dean http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/classic35mmcompacts/message/4221 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/classic35mmcompacts/message/4221 My ETRS goes forever on a battery.

I like it a lot, but it eats batteries. 2 other newer used cameras I have that youd like are the Bessa R, light & compact and Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:48:16 GMT Dean http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/classic35mmcompacts/message/4219 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/classic35mmcompacts/message/4219 Somehow I ended up with another Bronica ETRS body (6x4.5), to get the waist level finder, instead of a 35mm compact. Oh well I will keep looking ;-) Dean Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:52:34 GMT KironKid@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/classic35mmcompacts/message/4218 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/classic35mmcompacts/message/4218 In a message dated 12/3/2009 5:30:48 PM Pacific Standard Time, deanws@... writes: Haha.
