They became the SL's you hammer nails and spikes with! :) They truly are/were built like Tiger tanks, so solid I dropped a couple of mine and they almost bounced right back into my hands without dropping a frame. And they just kept going like the pink bunny, I still have one purchased in 1969 and it still works. It's rarely used these days, but it always gets a run through of all the shutter speeds once a month. Kinda keeping it limbered-up just in case. :) Excellent picture taking machines of a quality not likely to be seen again. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
