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

You can distinguish the two 55/4s by the placement of the lens designation type. On the later, prefered version, the type appears on a chamfer on the end of the focus ring. Just like an A series lens f or Pentax 35mm. I have this lens as well and love it. Paul -- Original message

Yep, just like the 645 and yes it's a great lens when using it normally without the LS. Good to hear about the brassing. Norm Scott Loveless wrote: Norm Baugher wrote: If you're gonna use a flash, go with the 165/4 LS...(lovely lens BTW). Also, make sure the body is thoroughly brassed,

Hello Scott, Yes, basically that is it. I used to have both the 165 LS and the 90 LS. Yes, they did make a 90mm leaf shutter lens. It is older and slightly more dangerous to use. The reason I say that is you can't really tell from the viewfinder that the leaf shutter is cocked. On the 165,

Scott, I'd go for a 67. 6x7 with mirror lock-up is a minimum. I like the 165/2.8 lens, but I think the 105/2.4 is the better in your normal range. You know there are a full complement of lenses, finders, and gadgets for these cameras. You are embarking on major league enablement. Regards, Bob
