On the later versions, the SL/SL2 cam was omitted and, according to my handbook, cannot be refitted. <<< Welcome to the list. From your experience and preferences I think you'll fit right in. Just don't get too frustrated with the sprited off-topic threads. One thing you can do to help us is to change the message subject line when you post a reply. Some of us don't bother to read messages that don't have a meaningful subject line. I wasn't aware of an SL version of the 80! I always thought it couldn't be used on the SL because the rear element protruded too far into the mirror chamber. I'm curious, is it because of the lower cost that you prefer the SL over the SL2? I would think that if you are running in to the SL's limited metering in dim light, the SL2 would appeal to you. Do you have a photo website? I'd love to see more non-tourist photos of places I'll likely never visit. Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt
