[QUOTE="Lights, post: 33506, member: 7955"] Yes it is the HP model & I couldn't ask for a better camera! Although it was in my car during a terrible accident, and the DE-5 viewfinder is now is sort of messed up. It works but the LED display on the top right can no longer be seen because the top is dented in, I had to cover the gap with electric tape so no light can get it. It's a shame because I got a VERY good deal for a mint quality F3HP after stalking ebay for a solid week, $140!
