Chinon Genesis III/GS9: any comments

[sanderfridman]

Dear Galah, as you know, you´ve become one of the only sources about the Chinon Genesis III (which by the way, as long as I learned is not the GS-9, but the GS-8).

I wonder whether you were amazed by the results of your experience with this camera then - and now, 3 years after!

My main preocupation is that it maybe as slow to shoot as all digital cameras, because it so much automatic. How has this seemed to you?

Thanks in advance!

Celebrated my wife's bithday on Saturday, so finished off my first film through this camera and have sent it to the processors: back on Friday. We'll see how we went then.

So far, everything appears to work as it is supposed to: focusing, flash, wind-on, rewind etc. The autofocus is remarkably quick: reminds me of my (one and only) Canon L USM lens: it is (almost) that fast.

Roll on Friday!

Chinon was always considered 3rd line in the camera field below cosina and Ricoh but above Hanimex.
