There was one on eBay, sale ended by now, of a complete 67II kit, for a huge
amount of cash!! No, I'm sticking out for a 67II, but I think all their
cameras are great. I would be right in the mire if I sold one of the MXs,
such is its perceived value at home.

JCO,
Thanks for the tip. I already have the 55/4 and got the later
version. In retrospect, I may have been just as happy with the
55/3.5. Live and learn. I am still pondering the 300 issue. Pretty
much boils down to close focusing. It would be great to try them side
by side to make sure.

I think 1/500 is the fastest shutter speed. You need to set the
body to 1/8.
