I suppose it's a meter of degree but Rollie has managed to achieve a = high level of backards compatibility in it's 6000 series 2 1/4 SLR = cameras. Lenses from even the old SL-66 series will fit a current 6008 = Integral and backs and viewfinders are compatible right through the 6000 = line. This is over a period of something like 25+ years. Of course = certain new features aren't always recognized in bith directions, but = otherwise they've done a superb job of it. ps: Though this is somewhat off topic, if there is a Rollei mail list = and list archive I'd greatly appreciate the address if anyone has it = handy. I've recently upgraded my 2 1/4 system to a 6008 and will be = buying a couple of additional lenses shortly. I'm curious as to options = of the 40mm Distagon vs the 40mm Super Angulon, and of the 180mm f/2.8 = Schneider. Cheers Michael
