Personally I prefer the mono. The colours do not seems (IMHO) to contribute much to the image.
Best wishes, Kris.

There was an excellent exhibition of HCB's work on at the Museum of Modern Art in New York a couple of weeks ago but I think it has just shut. When you see so many photos of his at once you start getting a feel for his compositions. Amongst the better known iconic shots were a collection of portraits which were beautifully shot.

The lens alone is worth more than you paid. My guess is the body will sell for a reasonable price even as is as the model was only sold in Japan and is more unusual than the ES or ESII. My guess is that it is impossible to source the electronics any more.
Good luck with the sale.

The first is much the better shot. Loose the vignette though, and perhaps play with some slightly different crops, but otherwise a very nice photograph.

On my recent US trip I was using an LX and an MX with either Delta 100 or Kodak BW400CN and a Lubitel 2 with Velvia 50 ASA.

This is off topic but I'll answer it anyway. That lens takes 4 x AAA batteries. I have one but it was dead/jammed solid when I got it and so it sits on my shelf as an ornament. Shame really as the optics are clear and in good condition. Robin (of Harrow Technical) said it was beyond repair.Steve Chasey wrote:

AA are batteries right or not? The AF 35-70f/2.8 does have it's own batteries - i think it uses 2 x AA

The other possibility is to buy a M42 lens which can be used in Av mode as well as you can just shut the aperture down using the "Auto Manual" switch on the lens.
Best wishes, Kris.
