Those 500ST seals look much more sensible.
I fired off half a roll with the Electro today. As a shooting experience, it was nothing special but that's probably because on a bright day, set on f11 with 400 ASA film, it pretty much behaved as a point and shoot; no metering involved. After using SLRs, the quiet click of the rangefinder shutter is also a bit disconcerting. I don't feel convinced it's worked properly. I'll try it in low light next, see how it behaves, and wait for the results to discover if the lens is all it's cracked up to be.
