Maybe it's the photo. Their M-36 is better than the other one. The original Japanese model I believe is the source of the Kamyia one is way better but where to find it?

That's really useful. I normally know exactly what details I want to capture, but always go completely to pieces once I am given a camera and am standing in front of the thing I need to photograph. :oops:
