A 500C/M i bought for 500 bucks. It had an 80 CF lens with a lens hood on it and a folding finder. It landed mostly on the lens hood which cracked like it think it was designed to. The camera works perfectly now like it always has. It's a cube with a mirror in it. A more elegant design never existed. I say Phooey to the prisms and the big lenses. But would kill for a 100 or 120 macro.
