Beautiful little SLR. Extremely well made, ergonomically very nice, looks like an odd shape but actually fits in the hands perfectly. Only has four shutter speeds - 1/20, 1/60, 1/125, 1/175. The shutter is unusual, I expected a cloth focal plane like the EXA 500 I have, but it has a strange shutter based on the mirror mechanism.
I've put my trusty Tessar 2.8/50 on it and loaded it with Fomapan 100, fingers crossed the weather is nice tomorrow and I can test this lovely camera.

Cheers, seems like a simple camera mechanically but also very well built, it has a quality feeling to it.

Cute indeed.
And they seem like they should be quite durable, and easy to fix.
I have been trying to get one for a while.
Operationally it is limited -
No big fast lenses on these, opened up in daylight.
No action photography - kids, dogs, birds, sports, dancing - all right out.

Yes, pretty limited camera, hard to justify using it when I have so many better ones, but a cute little one to experience at least once.
I had the same experience with my Praktica FX2 - great fun to shoot once, but not one I have bothered to shoot a second time.
