<p>For sheer pleasure of use, I second Andy's suggestion of the XD11.<br>

For a very nice all-purpose zoom, try the MD 35-70. Here is an example...</p>

<p>Great colors, <strong>Brad</strong>. I especially like the shot of Mt. Rainier (is that it?).</p>

<p>Great restoration work and pictures. Kudos, <strong>SP</strong> and <strong>Rick</strong>.</p>

<p>Just for the record, the flash sync speed of the 6D is 1/180, I believe.<br>

I think the high ISO capability of a recent body should be high on your list. It can allow you to work at f/4 in low light conditions.<br>

Last two cents: if you're thinking portrait and macro, the 100/2.8 L is pretty much an ideal lens. Not as versatile as a zoom, but in its niche, it is very, very nice.<br>

Good luck,</p>

<p>Wow, <strong>Ivo</strong>, this is nice.<br>

Continuing on your theme... Bronica SQ, 80/2.8.</p>

<p><strong>Rick</strong>, a quick eBay search for "Canonet 17" shows a couple cameras that look very much like yours, but are rebadged for Bell & Howell.</p>
