will function tolerably? I am easy to please, since I am a happy Zenit owner.  Thanks, Walter -- Message posted via http://www.photokb.com

What's wrong with your Zenit? What's NOT wrong with zenit? unreliable, 65% viewfinder coverage, big&heavy, lightleaking, limited shutter speeds... and many, many more.... Try to find something he http://www.butkus.org/chinon/index.html These cameras are well built, have most often P/K (pentax) bayonet mount, so lenses wouldn't be a problem. The cost can be 20-50euro, even with 50/1.4 on ebay.de. I've had Cosina CS-3 before and its viewfinder was brighter and bigger than any of my pentaxes now (K2&MEsuper) cheers, alkos - previous zenit ET & XP owner -- alkos at tlen pl http://onephoto.net/portfolio.php3?id_autora=17765
