    Is the V the one that allows the lens module to be separated from the camera body, with a cable? If so, I played with one for a few moments. It really drove home, that digital could use a radically different layout than film camera design. Love your history posts.
    Thanks for sharing,

    I have both this one and the "V" .
    I've recently managed to pick up the "EX Wide" after keeping my eye open for one for a good few years .
    I've not had chance to try it out yet , but I believe it gives out nice B&W images .

    Ah. Thanks for memories... got mine from B&H in 1998. Hmmm - I might still have it in a closet...
