.... a part of my email address after the "hexar" :

Hi Dave,

Nick is absolutely correct; I owned the Black (silent) Hexar for several years and it was my
main camera for a few years as well and earned some decent dosh from the local dailies
out here

Although it did embarrass a few of my photog friends when they all
had their 80-200/2.8's, etc... and it was, especially, embarrassing when my pics made the
newspaper and theirs did not

.............

So, I would say if you can pick one up in decent shape and "with the instruction manual'
because, as simple as this camera can be, it also has some interesting little tricks

As for
a price, I would say somewhere in the £125 is as much as I go

Cheers and let me know if you go for one.

Jack
