I'm completely out of touch with the secondhand market these days, but I still think that with a metered prism that just can't be a bad price, especially if it all works OK. In 2002 I paid more than that for just a metered prism, and that wasn't working (but it was still cheaper than a non-metered prism which is what I was looking for). The repair didn't cost much at all so I ended up with a very good deal in the end. My 67 came with a grid screen as well, and that's something I really like. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
