There is a MKH-60 on ebay right now, currently not a bad price. That's
a better shotgun than the MKH-416. It's what the MKH-418S should have
been based on.
The bigger problem for the MKH-418S is the side mic on it. The mid
appears similar to the MKH-416, but the side is not as good as the
MKH-30. At least by specs and what little comment I've managed to
glean so far. I've had no access to one to try. And feel my M/S
MKH-60/30 is a better rig. Unless Bernie's testing shows otherwise.
