On the other hand, the SL-2 works better with lenses that are hard to focus because of great depth of field (wide angles). You can always have an SL-type screen installed in the SL/2. The SL-2 has a metering system that's four times more sensitive than the SL and this can come in handy. It also has a hot shoe. On the other hand, SL's can be terrific buys if you get one that's in good condition. You pays your money and you takes your choice:-) Bud
