Therein lays the problem. Modern optics are hard to get for the SL66, 
and what's out there is mostly non-HFT coated. That translates to lower 
contrast, especially for BW.
I used to have a number of lenses for mine, but now I just keep a HFT 
coated 80mm along with a converted Agiflite 150 F2.8 T*.
I've yet to convert an Agiflite 350mm F5.6 T*
I mainly use a 6003 Pro for 120 work these days.
