II) have a long mirror that can cause interference problems with some lenses, primarily wides and some of the shorter zooms. The metering problem can be worked around in many circumstances by making a test exposure, checking the histogram and adjusting as required. I don't know about the 5DII, but with the 5D there was sample variation in mirror box calibration so manual focus wasn't always accurate w/o shimming the viewscreen. I'd like to hear why Steve Barbour prefers the D700/leitax solution. I have an emotional bias that would make me prefer the D700, but I'd like to hear a voice of experience.
