it's one impressive piece of technology, built like a rock, the ultimate development of the Cal 12 [to paraphrase a Chicagoland enthusiast], and really nicely finished, but I'm not sure that it will meet the legibility / simple elegance criteria.

I'm delighted to own it . . . only time will tell whether it will be in the "keeper" or in the "catch / photograph / release" category. To say that it is "growing on me" is a frightening phrase.

Thanks for recommending it . . . seriously!!

Jeff
