Quote: The RTS, actually ... it's just too heavy for my taste.
Never handled one myself, although it was an object of desire for me in the 70's/80's. I ended up with Yashicas - FR, FR1, FXD, and the FX103P - which showed you can have a programme mode with a Contax mount without sticking a lump on your lens and a microswitch on the body ...

That said, I don't like using the 167 in manual, as it suffers severely from "1980s crazy control syndrome". The 137 and 139 I like very much indeed despite their bargain status, and the RX is so smooth and silky, if a little over-complicated at times.
Yes - it's the controls that put me off the 167 too. I'd like to get my hands on a 159 sometime - preferably before we run out of film ...
