I guess it depends on where I buy it, but I'm almost 100% sure it won't be local. I'm not a raving fan of ebay, so I'll likely buy it from one of the big three mailorder houses, unless something turns up on ebay for cheap. > The only AE prism is only for the 67II.

I've breifly thought about a Kiev 60 today, and using the remainder of my money for a 4x5 lens, but I decided instead to just start with the system I think I want. > The lowest I've seen for a 6x7, metering prism and 105mm f2.4 (old > version), in cosmetically fairly ugly condition was $899 CDN.
