Hi Group,
I recently bought a mint SL recently on which to mount a 135/2.8, a focal
length I get no satisfaction using on my M bodies. I absolutely love this
camera - reminds me of the best of the best from my teenage years as a tyro
(wishing I could own this instead of my Spotmatic). One thing I'm looking
forward to is using my Hasselblad lenses on this body with one of those
Zorkendorfer mounts (even shifts!).
Wow, is this Heaven or what?
