It is patterned after the Contax line of cameras and is quite a gem. I loaded up a roll and we headed to Hell's Canyon as it was the only place around with less than two feet of snow. Here is Bubba waiting in my classroom to load up and get going on our trip. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_oSWet_Quq0s/R-2PS4jIw3I/AAAAAAAAACs/k79pRHZVjso/s1600-h/Isaac-classroom.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_oSWet_Quq0s/R-2PS4jIw3I/AAAAAAAAACs/k79pRHZVjso/s320/Isaac-classroom.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182956300753486706" border="0" /></a> Here he is holding his sister and mother in the palm of his hand.
