<p>Have the Hexar and used it as my only camera for some years beween a pentax slr and a Nikon dslr I got in 2006. No other camera has given me the percentage of keepers I get from the Hexar. It focus in a blink, even in the dark, and you get those shiny wet eyes. Built like a tank, almost weather sealed with a filter, and fits in the pocket of my jacket. What more could you wish for (except when you want something else than 35 mm)?</p>
