I've had no problem with mirror shake on my non-MLU 6x7, but the longest lens I have is the standard 105mm. At some stage - particularly with more and more MF equipment coming on the market at reasonable prices - I would like to get longer lenses and a 67II, as it's all interchangeable. Cosmetically, mine shows it has had a hard life, but I haven't been anything other than very impressed with the larger negatives, particularly slides which is about all I take with it now. As nearly everyone goes for the MLU version, this could prove to be quite a bargain purchase to those trying a bigger format for the first time. Malcolm
