Traded in my Mamiya 7 for the Ikon, despite my attempt to avoid all GAS this year! As atonement, I'm going to sell my fixed lens rangefinders too.

One more, with the Hexar looking on. I have a Griptac kit coming from Morgan at Cameraleather for both of them. The Hexar and Ikon both use an absolutely horrible leatherette that rubs smooth immediately. How can they sell a $1600 camera with leatherette that won't last longer than a week under heavy use?

How does one break their camera so quickly, I usually wait a week or two.:)
 
I didn't had a manual and wanted to change the ISO and then the spring pops and in the train... Thank god i found all peaces. This is my first time I really brake something like this. :D But now its working!

Added a side grip for mine. I really like the looks without any accessories mounted, but the grip together with a strap on the same side allows for a more relaxed carrying around.

The strap is a DIY thing. I bought a softened leather dog leash and cut a suitable length that I twisted half around. It's sewn into a loop using very durable string - the joint is hidden under the "bandage" of course. Not very hard to do if you're a bit handy.

Also, the Ikon in the proper context:

What I like the most about this camera is the viewfinder and the size. The viewfinder is absolutely perfect. I doubt it could be done better. Since I shoot mostly 50 mm, I wouldn't mind a 1:1 option, but I guess I don't really need a viewfinder then. The size of the camera is also perfect - I usually carry mine lens and body apart, one in each pocket on my jacket (caps on). It's thin, maybe not a lot thinner than an M, but it feels so. And the AE does the numbers for you, so you can just enjoy the sound of a very exact shutter ;)

Me like. Me keep.

My ZI with a collapsible hexar lens. I´m looking for a new 50mm for this camera, it surely deserves more than this. It´s not I don´t like the hexar but I need more image quality, I´m thinking about the ZM Planar. Cheers
