No Barrie, they were only used on the SX-88 and you'll never find one. *wink*

Actually, yes. They will fit, but there are two style skirts I've
seen. The more numerous have just the whole numbers listed (40, 50,
60, etc) while others show a small '5' on the scale between. The
reproductions sold by Charlie Talbot are the latter, think I've seen
these on the last SX-101A MKIIs or whatever they were labeled. All of
the SX-88s I've seen used the older style (sans '5's).
