beauty or the beast...

Here it is ladies and gentleman, the latest and greatest from the land of the orient. Circa 1980, precisely as old as I am...
Why you ask? Well I say, 5 reasons...

1. Bought it for 150 euros with a 50mm f 1.8 lens.
2. Dropped in on asphalt pavement from shoulder height. Negligible dent on pentaprism. Works perfectly.
3. Combined with used manual focus 20-35 Tokina and Fuji velvia 50 iso. Landscape bliss.
4. Great ice breaker, I was offered a free cup of coffee in Paris by the owner of the bistro who had used a similar camera for 20 years.
5. Aperture, shutter and a bright viewfinder. Do you really need more?
