I just got a good deal on a Mamiya 7ii (but it needs a minor repair, so not shot it yet). Very excited though!

Try the classifieds here or at places like rangefinderforum - will probably work out a whole lot cheaper for you (and therefore allow you to sell at a more attractive price to potential buyers).

Ok - here's an off-the-wall suggestion. The Olympus XA. It's tiny (fits easily in jeans pocket), robust and has a great, fixed 35mm lens. You can get one for around £40 on eBay. Did I mention it's a film camera? But just think, add a few rolls of good film - maybe even some Kodachrome for...

I was torn between a G10 and an LX3. I went with the latter because I wanted a wider wide-angle (24mm on the LX3) and better ISO performance (you can't really use the G10 beyond ISO 400).

Yeah, I spotted it too! Not a film shot though.

ekimeno - is that up near Old Street by any chance?

Thanks - yeah, they're not 'pixel perfect' (or pixel anything!) but I'm glad you like them. Have re-sized them now too - sorry about that!
