>>2713874To my knowledge the 600LMS was made in 1983 as well as the Close Up Step Up. (I could be wrong) There's a lot of onestep models in 90's.
The close up lens appears to be a gimmick in my opinion as I can't tell difference between my shots with the Close Up.
Keep in mind the 600 line all have plastic lens, so, I figured a plastic magnifier...eh. Not to mention it's not an slr, so you can't tell the difference. I'm currently using the 600LMS as my Close-Up's rollers have ruined some shots. Don't feel like taking a risk after cleaning them.
I havve not been lucky to use the sonar auto focus on any models, but the idea is the sonar, sends sounds between you and the subject, to focus your shot. I would get it definitely if the price was right.
