Unfortunately, I bought into the hype and traded the RX for the AX and that proved to be a dog if there ever was one. Great idea, but only Mamiya made it work effectively with the original Mamiya Six RF. I had the AX for 23 days until it just gave up (new camera) the night before I was supposed to shoot the Seattle area nurses of Pearl Harbor on the 50th anniversary of the attack. Anyways, the RX was a great body which I look back on as a manual focus Nikon F4, but quieter. Just a great camera, super solid build and amazing lenses, of course. There's no plastic there, all glass & metal. Heavy as a tank! Enjoy! PhilFo On Sunday 16 December 2007 01:46, Bob Shaw wrote: > You will love the RX.
