Hi Al,
Having looked at t'internet for details of this camera (and trying to remain
on topic), I'd stick with it.
OK - so its aperture priority only, but it appears to be a very neat
rangefinder camera - maybe not in the same league as leica, but is seems to
be good enough.
I'd stick with it. Especially if you're doing B&W.
