Jim, it's easy to beat the 2.8/180 Elmarit R or the 4/250 Telyt R. Of course, I know that the 2/90 or 100 mm Macro are nice lenses, but that's true for the 2.5/ 105 also. And the M Super Angulon beats the R Super Angulon at each day of the year... Further, I certainly don't test my cameras, I take pix. On the other hand, I agree that the FM backplate is not the best ... But, you only press it that strong when you (1) use a winder and (2) bullets pass close to your head :). BTW, my FM has 3.177.167 ... with 7+ million you decided rather late to buy a nice camera :) Alf
