Thanks for the hint ...

I know that you can't transpose the dials for aperture/shutter speed in
M, which I find counter-intuitive, but what do you mean about the AEL?

Perhaps so, but less likely to wiggle around ;-)

I took some shots in Cambridge yesterday at 400 by mistake. I was
about to retake them at 100, but thought, " there's no point, they will
be just the job anyway."

I agree. In addition, the whole thing feels so secure. I took some
photos of a rowing tournament in the pi**ing rain in Peterborough 2
weeks ago today. I really did not worry that the camera was getting
soaked and my only problem was trying to take photos through a filter
covered in droplets and condensation when I came inside the clubhouse.
Even the FL-36, which I dropped off the camera while running along the
bank came through with no problems, not even a scratch!
My only mini-snag is that I have lost the cover to the PC socket ...
