Hans,
Congratulations! You have one fine camera and the f/3.5 Tessar on the
early post-war "flexes" are superb lenses. These are lighter than the MF
SLR's and very easy to use once you get accustomed to the left-right
reversed image on the focus screen. These can be excellent "user" TLR's.
Gratuitous OM Content:
Don't know if you've done any MF or not. You could easily get hooked by
this. I've been using an M645j for about two years, and am gradually using
it for more deliberate work when I can afford the size and weight of it
plus a tripod. The OM system is _not_ gathering dust either. The two
formats are beginning to complement each other better with their respective
strengths and weaknesses. If anything, you will find the "flex" a
"thinking photographer's" camera and the disciplined considerations you go
through in making each image with it will spill back into your OM usage.
