That I can add an m42 adapter to it and try so many vintage lenses out instantly, rather than waiting for the film to get finished and developed.
That it has a really nice "grain" quality for what is now a quite old 16MP digital camera.
A few weeks ago I noticed some spots appearing in images.
The sensor had some dust, so I gave it a very gentle clean and all was well.
But lately I've noticed exposures are often wrong with manual lenses set to AV mode.
After investigating, I now find that the sensor shutter is no longer latching on and closing - the sensor is permanently open to the lens rear.
Still ok, but I now make sure that a lens cap is on when not in use, in case the sun burns the sensor outdoors.
Manual exposure and AF lenses work just fine, so it's a weird one.
Now it's usage is as unique as it's looks.
If I could find a cheap Bumblebee one, I'd get it.

We should catch up for a coffee at the Argus and talk film era lenses

You will need a lot of coffee, as I can talk about old lenses until most people's eyes glaze over.
Is that the Argus at Strath?
