This one is rather battered but still looks great, it has a dent on the side of the top plate. The black enamel finish is really astonishing it feels great! I heard that the SL mot are rather rare, is this true? Thib. At 08:57 21/11/1998 -0500, you wrote: >Thib- >I have an SL-Mot. The camera is exactly like the SL except it has no self timer, and the film advance lever does not cut off the meter- I keep a cap on mine between uses and usually change the battery once a year whether it needs it or not! You can get a plastic baseplate cover to cover the contacts, too. >Don't get it with hopes of getting the motor! They are 800-1000 USD and are huge and heavy, but the camera is as nice as the plain SL - if you get a chance at one, go for it! >Dan >dwpost@msn.com > > >
