Hello, Does anyone know what the difference is between these version of the Olympus 80mm macro lens? Versions ZUIKO MC AUTO-1:1 MACRO 1:4 f=80mm (100xxx, 102xxx, 103xxx, 104xxx) ZUIKO AUTO-1:1 MACRO 80mm 1:4 (105xxx, 107xxx, 108xxx, 109xxx, 110xxx, 112xxx, 114xxx, 115xxx, 116xxx, 117xxx, 118xxx) Source Zuiko Auto-1:1 Macro 80mm f/4 – Olympus OM Bellows Macro Lenses In particular I'm wondering if the second set of versions are multi coated lenses? Because the second version listed doesn't have the MC designation in the name, so did Olympus just leave the MC designation off because all lenses after a certain date were multicoated, or are those set of lenses actually single coated. Thanks

<p>I read somewhere that the Mamiya 6 cameras have a common flaw in the film advance mechanism. And I finally have experienced this first hand. I am no longer able to advance the film. Its basically broken.<br> I submitted my camera to a local repair facility and they quoted my a price. It isn't exactly a cheap repair, maybe a bit cheaper than buying a new camera body of the same type. <br> However I was wondering if it is worth it to repair it, because I'm worried the film advance mechanism will break again, since this is indeed a common problem with this camera model. <br> Does anyone here have any experience with this?<br> Also does Mamiya 7 also have this problem? </p>
