I'm deciding which one to get, my 645AFD just self destructed and I was wondering whether the AFD 2 was worth the extra money. Does anyone have experience with both? How's the AF compare?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=192925\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Hi They improved the shutter on the AFDII. I have had a shutter replaced on my AFD. I prefer the AFDII since you can separate the focus from the shutter release. Being in your position buy the AFDIII. What happened with your AFD body? You can still pick up AFD bodies on eBay at good prices. The Big advantage of the AFDIII is that it will have the new firmware for the new lenses that Mamiya has released.Thanks Denis[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=193038\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Hey, whats the new lens firmware business, why would you have firmware for a lens?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=193109\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
HiWhat I meant to say is that the new AFDIII will be more up to speed with any firm ware updates. I haven't had a problem with my AFDII. You can get a new stronger shutter for the AFD but that costs $900.00 AUD here in Australia. The good news is it only takes a few days as they have spare shutters in stock.Thanks Denis[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=193193\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Oh cool, I just called the guy at the NY place who said it will only be 400 dollars. So the new shutters are stronger eh? I think the AF was playing up a little too towards the end, maybe they can do something about that.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=193194\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
