Looks faint indeed when taken out of context Sid!!! ;) ;) ;)  But you can
substitute RBT S1 or any other fine camera that has an advantage over a
Realist.  The Nimslo has 3 great features:  Light weight, automatic, smaller
interocular.  If you will not take the Realist in a situation that needs any
of these features and not take the picture, while you could have used the
Nimlso, then the Nimslo is a better camera!


>>I now miss the RBT S1.  I took it to all kinds of places (like my church)
and shot plenty of film.  I was planning to take the Realist or Belplasca in
the same places, but I have not.  Seems like more of a bother than the RBT S1
was.  I have to admit that convenience and automation will get you more
pictures.  If they will get you _better_ pictures, that's another story!

Cameras......make the pictures that we take....and they are only as good as
the limits of our abilities to use them....an S1 in a fine camera....but I
still love my Realists....and again....it aint the camera....its the user.
