Thanks!

Starting to feel like the upgrade from 0.3 megapixels to 41 was worth it. :-)))

And I'm starting to think of the 808 as a digital dream version of the venerable Minolta CLE, with which I lived for decades, and to this day. Mainly cause like with the CLE, I can go auto, or have manual control over focus, exposure and ISO.

One thing it does not feel like at all is the eyemod. Completely different animal: the eyemod was all about absolute stealth, the 808 is much less so, by the necessity of its wrongly placed camera lens. Where the eyemod presented the subject with the slimmest of profiles (I could cover all of it with my fingers, and have only the lens protruding between them), the 808 looks to the subject just like any other camphone: very obvious.

So, I'm kinda going decades backwards to the days when I worked with the CLE, and learned to be as invisible as possible with it.

Fun! :-)))
