I have heard a mixture of good and bad so far. What did you mean by "camera will not work with the motor drive"? If this is true, it is not SL2MOT. I read the letter from Hong Kong in Viewfinder. There he mentioned something about originality. Any more thoughts on this? Regards, David At 04:04 PM 5/21/98 EDT, you wrote: >David, > >I have seen some of these cameras myself.
