Congratulations, Mike! That's a great price, too.
The only thing it lacks is Live View. Otherwise, bung on that 85mm you're going to buy and fall in love. And, the focus system is archaic in comparison to the Mark III. But, if you're shooting static portraits, focus/recompose with the central AF will get you there each time, provided you're not shooting at silly apertures where your depth of field is only a few centimetres.
The images straight as they appear in DPP with their gorgeous creamy tones, will blow you away.
I've got a model test on tomorrow morning. When I'm not shooting the Profoto gear, I'll be heading over to a window, pulling out that combination, and going to have a ball. The images mightn't make it into her portfolio, but, they will mine.
Look forward to seeing your first shots with this vintage masterpiece.
