DAG is a reasonable place to have the camera CLA'd, though I'd send the lens on to Focal Point for a coating -- yours was coated on manufacture, but the process was a drip method which left a wet coating which is subject to drying out. (Though, to be fair, I shot with my Summitar for years without complaint before I had it recoated.) If it has a flash synch, it's been upgraded. Look for a synch socket on the upper back or lower front of the camera. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
