Understood, thanks.

The 124G is a _great_ camera.  I still have mine and use it now and
then.  Sometimes a TLR just fits the bill.  It can be remarkably
effective in street shooting.  Did you ever hear the story of the guy
who put a large lens shade on the focus knob so it looked like it was
pointing 90 deg. the other way?  He pointed the knob to his front,
looked up that way a few times as he focused, but was actually
shooting to his right. <GGG>
