The 553ELX is gone, whether temporarily or forever we will see. I left a bag somewhere, and when I returned, it was gone. Now I am chasing it.

That means that I will have to buy new body, poor me. I have shortlisted two 503s, which I find somewhat overpriced (as I dont need the WLF and the A-M screen), and a naked 500C/M which looks untouched. Alternatively, I could go down the Duracell rabbit role of buying another 553ELX, but mine might eventually return

So, let's celebrate the opportunity to make a trip to GASington Manor.

I miss my 553 big time, but...I accept that it never became "my" camera.

When I sold my 203, it left a big hole in my heart--so I replaced it immediately with a much less expensive 501CM. Not as versatile, but it works. Maybe another 203 in the future, but my new 907X is keeping me busy--and all my glass works (with adapters).
Hoping for the return of you 553 must be stressful for you, and my 80-year-old recommendation would be to find another 553 and make it "your own." Just a thought.

Maybe my post was not clear - I lost the 553 but it was returned to me, and then later I sold it. Now I miss it but i know that buying it again cannot turn back time.
