The ring under the shutter-speed dial is the one we are speaking of. If the numbers are in red, it is the later RD, if in black, the earlier BD. The earlier IIIf's had the older shutter assembly, the RD's the later. The ring only adjusts the synch speed. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
