Dan,
Ah, now I understand the question. The SL66 lenses are not readily
usable on any other body. The System 6000 cameras do not have internal
shutter mechanisms so the SL66 lens will not be usable. I guess it
would be possible to mount an SL66 lens on a bellows for a Hasselblad
with a focal plane shutter but this would certainly not be a good way to
demonstrate the lens.
Yes, for a store to effectively demonstrate an SL66 lens only an SL66
family body will do.
