Yep, I wish I'd kept them now. Bought in the early 1980's, and still like new when I sold them, around five years ago I think.
Compact, easy to handle, and with a wonderful feel to them, and, of course, excellent results.
Yes, for me the same. I never knew about this. Can be handy. I don't think it will make sharper images, but I think it will allow me to have more control. I will try this the coming weeks to see if it works for me.
