BTW, the F and FV is supposed to have a slightly brighter VF than the FT..... I am searching for the FV or cheap F for use... I prefer the brighter VF over a meter..... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Be careful how you match the body to the lens. The lenses for the FT have the f stop marked 0 to 6 which correspond to how the internal meter displays. On these lenses the conventional f stops are also on the lens but on the opposite side of the lens so you have to turn the camera upside down to see them. The lenses made for the older model F have conventional f stops. If you look at what KEH sells the lenses are marked either F or FT. However I believe, but not sure, that both lens versions fit both the F and FT bodies. Len
