cool camera! do you know you can control this camera with an infrared remote? I know..you're saying "no, this cameras as no IR receiver". but.. Yap you cant control it wirelessly! great for long exposures and remote shooting! check out how at this link (copy to browsers address bar): remoteALL.bymac.org
I have the same camera, picked mine up at a thrift store for about 14.00 bucks Canadian, I have since picked up a few other lenses, it is my favorite camera that I use for macro photography. It is such a reliable camera, virtually foolproof. It's a pity that it is getting harder and harder to buy and have 35mm film processed.
these things are invincible! i've had three different models and none of them has ever given me any trouble :) no rotting mirror damper foam or light seals, no dodgy shutters. really impressive and simple design

@zhemin No it doesn't need batteries to operate, it only needs batteries for the light meter.
