The big problem with going FF is none of their nice DA* lenses will go with it. Anyone buying FF will want top quality lenses like the DA*s. Do they have the capacity to design and build a whole new series of quality lenses in FF? I know some of their older FF lenses are still available (and some like the Ltds are stunning), but hardly the range a pro would want or need. If they could produce a MF camera that wasn't in the silly money category they may well fill a niche.

My 1/2p worth.

I this entirely true? I'll admit they are terrible at it now but I remember when every man and his dog seemed to be toting an ME Super!

Best wishes, Kris.

Actually, the MEII winder catch is notoriously weak and can break easily (I was like a pig in smelly stuff when I managed to buy a brand new replacement catch on ebay!) so using the Eneloops might be a good choice for winders as well as flashes.

Cheers, Kris.

Just tried ringing them, no luck

I like to use different cameras just for the fun of it. Of my film bodies the LX is probably my favourite although I like the lightness of the MX and have nostalgic memories of years of the ME Super. Of digital SLRs I have only had the K10D and as John says, its lovely! On a trip like the one to Salisbury last week I took the K10D and the LX, which is probably my favoured combination --- at least at the moment.

Line of sight is true, but not a problem for my specific task (photographing inscriptions on tombstones). Daylight? No problems for me. It has worked every time provided I remember to hold the sensor pointing towards the camera!

Best Kris.

If you are just wanting to fire your 360/540 remotely I followed Matt's advice and bought a very cheap AF160 flash from ebay and use that to trigger my 360 in dumb slave mode. I found that using the internal flash on the K10D was hit or miss as the "preflash" often set off the main flash which then didn't have time to recharge.

Cheers Kris.

The one I noticed was the Ritz. There maybe others but that one especially was noticeable.

Best wishes, Kris.

Crop it square as has been suggested and No 1 is a real winner.

Cheers, Kris.

Anyone got one of these? It is the little circular cap that screws on over the coupling for the power winder when there isn't a winder. BTW, it isn't the same size as one from a ME Super.

Thanks, Kris.
