Noone ever says a lot > about the MG. Hah! I do fit the "no-one" label rather well <g> but I have been touting the quality and ease of use the MG gives you, ever since I got one years and years ago! Aperture priority and center-weighted, TTL metering. I even got another body for a backup, just in case I might need parts some day. I'm keeping those two forever!

Yes, an excellent feature! > The light diodes in the viewfinder of the ME are all red. All of them! > The MG has different coloured diodes.

According to the manual, it accepts both the ME II and the ME winders. > Jens Bladt > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt Thanks for bringing it up. Time to remind others on the list of how good a simple camera like this can really be! <g> A few years ago, I took it and a bunch of K- and Takumar lenses, like my 135mm f/2.5, accompanied by the mount adapter, to Hawaii, and had a quite capable kit! No worry about this being the only body I took along... They all performed together admirably! keith whaley
