Wanted - Acquired: Pentax 67/6x7 Prism

Un-metered is fine. I use a light meter and keeps the cost down. Not opposed to a metered prism though.

There's a "Bargain" grade finder up at KEH:

Good luck with your search.

Saw that one. I guess there’s no way to know what BGN looks like until it arrives.

I've purchased gear from KEH. I've been happy with the bargain condition items I've purchased in the past. They say BGN its functional and it can range from one aesthetic scratch on an otherwise good looking piece of equipment to one that definitely shows its age from use. So yeah you won't know until it arrives. I hope you find one. P.S. I recommend you look for a round screw-on lens hood for your 105mm

Still looking. Haven’t seen the camera body in person yet, but the pictures look like it was very well-cared for. Would like a prism to match in cosmetic appearance. Going to wait to buy one until I get the camera from Eric. If you have something, let me know. Would like to have an idea or options when the body arrives.

I have a couple of un-metered prisms for the 6x7 body as well as a metered one. I need to pair all the prisms up with bodies and see what spares I have, but there is likely one or two available when you get your body back from Eric.

Thanks! Let me know what you have and if you have prices in mind.

Camera arrived and it's in great shape. Ready to pick up a prism.

Looking at a couple on eBay. Last call before I go that route.
