I have a 6x7 with MLU, but no metering. I've had no problem getting it serviced - one of the old camera repair outfits in the area has a good supply of 6x7 parts on hand and the guy there loves to work on them.
WRT lenses - I've been very happy with the 67 55mm f4, Takumar 105 f 2.8 and 150 f2.8. The 45 would be a nice addition as well. WRT 55mm lenes - there were 3 of them made for the 6x7 / 67. The 67 55mm f4 is outstanding. The 6x7 55mm f4 is not. I originally had the latter and sold it - it was a weird lens in that some shots were fabulous, but others had really bad distortion in the corners and edges. Be careful when buying because the lenses have the same basic specs (55m, f4, 77mm front objective.) The third 55mm is an f3.5 and is the oldest of the batch - it generally gets great reviews but has a big and odd sized front element, so filters could be a problem. - MCC Scott Loveless wrote: > Since I'm toying with the possibility of selling the K10, I'm also > considering where I'm going to sink the money.
