The idea of living in a tower has appealed to me for a long, long time. This is absolutely amazing! If I can't live there, can I at least go visit?

It's an important life lesson to learn to distinguish between what you think you *should* want and what you actually *do* want.  If you don't, you may end up becoming a doctor when what you really want is to become a dancer.  Or vice versa.

I also love the P210 Duett.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a 1959 Canon P rangefinder.  A couple of days ago or so my lens arrived: A nearly mint condition Jupiter-8 (50mm f2.0 Zeiss Sonnar clone) from 1956.  Test roll this weekend, photos to follow!
