Hello poindexter FORTRAN!

This time a Canon Sure Shot 65 Zoom Date, to get a relatively short zoom range (and decent optics) paired with a big viewfinder.

That's nice!

They've begun selling (color) film mailers again here; I think Fujifilm sends everything off to a central lab somewhere in Germany and then return it after a week or two. A little bit pricey but better than nothing. =)

Some nice ones there! I've hade some Olympuses in the past and they had nice optics.

Another "favorite" series where you can get very good Schneider optics rebranded ("Samsung SHD Lens") are some of the Samsung Fino Super cameras. E.g. the Samsung Fino Super 170 has very good image quality throughout the entire zoom range. But it could vary from model to model.

Best regards
