Thanks for the welcome and info Sam, I was beginning to think I was all alone with my pro tl!
The main reason I really like the camera is that it is all manual, I like have a knob for all the funtions, especially the aperture. Plus the waist level finder! I put in a beattie intenscreen and focusing seems to be fine, although I'm sure it will get harder as my eyes give in.
You can only set the ISO on the back annoyingly with the pro tl. If you remove the back the meter stops working. Looks like it may be an external meter then.
I don't think I'll be getting a back too soon anyway as I can get the equivalent off 75mp out of velvia and my scanner. But If i find a used sinar or hassy back at a good price maybe I might dive in early.
Cheers
Jason
no replies I'll chip in what I know..
Sorry I dont know about the metering but the rest shoulb be fine
As long as you set the same ISO on the back and body the meter will be fine anyway
I think this is an interesting underrated system - great range of bargain lenses including leaf for decent flash
Personally i find the finder a bit gritty to focus and on a DBack you really need good focus cos it just pings out if you are out
ps discalimer: I have a proTL system and a DBack on a hassy but have never got the back on the TL
