Thanks for sharing! I love the Way Model with the iconic dated stripes and minimal square case, someday I'll find one around here.
What is the purpose of the extra foldy bit on this model, apart from complicating the mechanism and adding an extra part to break of course?
As much as I am a fanboy for Sony stuff, I do love Panasonic as well, both icons for Japanese electronics.
Beautiful Panasonic collection. Years ago, I spent a lot of time on the S and SX models. But I eventually gave that up, because I found it too difficult to keep them in good working order for long-term use. Nowadays, it is the models with AR20 mech that have stolen my heart. All the colors of the NX and SW versions, for example. The early brick types are also a favorite. Your J9 looks beautiful!
