Since then I bought MB20 and prism unit has been replaced. &nbsp; It has rare P screen.&nbsp; It's very reliable and stable camera.&nbsp; It's heavy but, yes, capable of going very slow shutter with hand-held compare to any other body I own.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br /> <br /> With Nikkor Ai-s 85mm F2.0.&nbsp; I have removed aka rabbit ear as it does not require and unnecessary ware inside the camera bag.&nbsp; <div class="blogger-post-footer"><p> © Copyright Hidenao (Ben) Nakagawa.
