I finished the film in my Konica S and sent it off today with one from the Super A. I have a spreadsheet of cameras and I was looking at it to think about which one to use next. To be honest I have a few favourites and the rest I could sell and not miss. I have a three-way pull between the SLRs, which are easy to frame and use, plus modern features, and even the standard 50mm lenses are very good; then there are the Zeiss Contessas (rigid ones) which are so easy to use but you need a bit of luck to go from a good picture to a great one; and a couple of Japanese entries which have nicer, faster lenses but are bigger and heavier.
