But an SL66 is much different with the built in bellows and are much more elegant. Elegances as in the opposite of the amazingly high tech complexities which never work of the 6000 series. These cameras reputedly just never work and you cant get them fixed. Other than that, great. Not that I don't wish that they would with that option of using Schneider lenses. The 90 macro in particular. And there is a 180 f2.8 for the super fashion photographer of all time. Read this and weep http://www.sl66.com/slx/PQ_lenses_datachart. Looks like threes a Super-Angulon 3,5-22/ 40mm PQ With all respects to your cousin Elmarit, dog whatever: when it comes to wide angle pie in the sky what I want perfection. Give me a super Angulon any day. Theses people are not into the Sl66 but seem to be into the SX. A camera which always fascinated me. I'm going to check it out right now. Oh here's the sl66 its hard to find on the site http://www.sl66.com/welcome.htm But you'd figure with "sl66" in the URL they'd have the camera in there some where. Gee they are Gorgeous! http://www.sl66.com/welcome.htm And there is a lens list. I think I'll start an sl66 users group and only allow me to be the only one who doesn't have one in it.
