- Yeah, I used one for a rew years. Selected shutter, no meter, X sync only,
- heavy duty internals. Ideal for beating uppity Fs and the random brick-shit-
- houses to pulp. Also fun to take into the local foto shop with " my meter don't
- work" and have him say " Ah, flat battery sir, I'll just .... ah.... change..."
- as he looks for the non-existant battery compartment. ;-)
-
- Made for the pro wedding/portrait market. Some of these people can run 3000-
- 5000 shots per day, 5 days per week!
-
- If I had 2, I would hang on to them both. Or sell the second to a pro who can
- get a new one any more. As to price?? I would ask twice or more of a standard
- mat.
