This is what was supposed to have been done with the FX-3 Super in question. From what I have read, the change from FX-3 to FX-3 Super is what caused the problem. I have a number of FX-3 cameras and not one of them has had the problem. The last time I tried them, my Zeiss lenses worked properly on my two working 167MT cameras. The FX-3 Super 2000 is another matter. I have one of them and use it infrequently. It may be the least well made of the FX-3 series. The regular FX-3 is a little primitive with the meter button at the back and little finder information but I have found it to be reliable and the finder is nice and bright. I also have the FX-7 and FX-7 variants. The coverings? Black, light gray, gray and white.
