Yeah, I drew my wallet in 0.02 ms when I saw the price tag and got verbal confirmation that it was no typo. Remains the question why one would want to own 3 MX' but hey.. These are really neat pieces of camera work, I had my first MX (dates back to 1977 I think) on the shuttertester recently. All timing is within 15% of nominal. For fun the EUR 12.50 body went onto the same tester and shows similar results. Impressive. Wilko
