If, as you stated, you shoot mostly landscape and macro, you will rarely need 0-EV
focusing ability, right?

I've had the II and the 7e. The mirror damping is better on the 7e, in my opinion. The
II is generally noisier than the 7/7e, but for your work it won't matter.

My II never had very accurate metering. It was off in all modes (except the green
idiot mode, go figure) by 1/2 to 1 stop under; I had it tested twice. My 7e has
excellent metering in all modes.
>How a[re] the E-TTL flash metering in both cameras?
With the 380EX (my only EX flash), excellent in both cameras.
>3) build quality?
I've had all three Elan models; all were well built.
