6.2 has higher Shutter speed 1/2000th and flash synch at...cant remember 1/125th? I will look if important. The paint on hte inside of the the mirror box is still sus and worth looking at before you buy to see whether or how much it has flaked. The lever depth of field preview is pretty silly and flimsy. The electronics are no more reliable than any of the previous generations but at least it is only the light meter. Worth checking, if it is bad it might still be an expensive repair. Probably a bit of a shame Minolta didnt handle manufacture for them.

Um...holds the film flat for the R lenses which is all important. Salgado used one in the oil fields fires. Thats got to be bonus points.
