Watch.<br /> This is the best and most quietest 'sneaking up on people to take their picture' camera I've ever known. <br /> Hanging round your middle, a lot of people today don't even realise it's a camera at all, and it's deathly quiet.<br /> There's so little vibration with this camera, that you can handhold at a 30th, or even a 15th, and still get good results.<br /> And it's lens is SOOOO sharp! <br /> Also, it goes so well with my old Minolta 300 lightmeter, which gives a readout option in EV numbers, so I can set both shutter and aperture combinations with just one little lever on this 'T' type Rollei.<br /> I really, really love her!<br /> She's been resting for a few years while we've all been bored to tears with digital.
