Well, I was able to take a few pictures with it today at last. No auto-focus, manual cocking of shutter and so on. Having to consider every shot... and then missing them. No facility to instantly check the shot with a screen on the back... it's great!
Being able to put on my FA31 & FA77 and see them how they're meant to be is a joy when you look through the huge window presented by the viewfinder, which is even brighter and a lot bigger than the one on my brand new, full-frame Canon 5D mark3.
The camera arrived swiftly, totally as described and superbly packaged by Peter, aka Defragged, who was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
All the best
