If you can't find it.

Can't say it's worth spending more than 5 minutes on it. It's not a mindset I understand.

I fully understand what you mean about MF slowing you down. I have a 1938 Rolleiflex that is primarily an ornamental piece. I take it out now and again when I've been getting stressed for whatever reason. It makes me concentrate totally on the photography and takes my mind away from whatever it is that's been bothering me. It is the complete antithesis of machine gun photography. The mirror is badly blotchy, there's no metering, the shutter and aperture settings are analogue dials and who knows how accurate the calibration is for the shutter. I think I've done well if I get one good shot out of the 12. it doesn't matter, the camera has done its job of making me switch off.

Duncan.
