James:
I'm very pleased with the MF-28. I purchased it primarily for the
between frames imprint function. There is a list of what can be
printed between and in frame below. The only other function provided
(which should be a standard featuer ON the F5) is Freeze Focus (Focus
Priority). This allows you to put the lens in manual focus, hold the
shutter release down, then when the subject comes into focus, the
shutter releases. This comes in handy for those trying to do hand
held macro work!!!
As far as cosmetics go, get ready to adjust to back on the camera.
The F5 still fits comfortably in your hand, so don't worry about
comfort and handling. If can snap a digital pic of the back on the
camera. Let me know if you would like the pic.
It's a little pricey, but very nice to have!!
Below is funtion list of the MF-28:
1. DATA IMPRINT FUNCTION
