Since it is quiet on the list, I thought I would make a comment. Based on the last couple of times I have used the 67 for some outdoor portraits, I have been dealing with sun and shadows. With my old PZ-1p's or my MZ-S's I would simply put on the flash and use the relatively high flash synch to do some flash fill. Works pretty well and quite painless. With the 67 I have been faced with the 1/30 flash synch speed which has caused me to have to use a small aperture (smaller than desired) to be able to flash fill.
So I found a 90/2.8 leaf shutter lens on KEH site that looked to be in good shape. It should arrive here tomorrow and then I'll do some tests with it. If it works well for me, then I'll probably pick up the 165/4 leaf shutter lens also. For the 90 - it could replace my current 90/2.8 because the lenses are the same speed. However, for the 165, I need the 2.8 in dimmer light situations for focusing - so I'd probably keep both (sounds like Shel stating that more than 1 lens in a focal length is a good thing). One for outdoor flash fill stuff and the other for everything else. If anyone has any tips on how to use either lens, I would appreciate hearing. The 90 won't be coming with any kind of manual so I will have to figure it out. I remember someone saying that there are two different synch settings, just don't remember what the difference is.
