Marc, it would take a lot of shopping around. I don't know if you've priced
these lately. They start at about $350 for the 6x4.5 and 600 for the 6x9, and
those aren't in such hot condition. I spent a lot of time looking for one of
these, and I think have a pretty good feel for them, unless the market
dropped out in the last nine months. The prices you describe are more in line
with the ones with no x-synch or non-coated lenses.
The 6x6 versions are pretty economical, but they're not the same camera. But
they're much more fun to use.

This is silly. A Zeiss Ikon (NOT Zeiss!) Super Ikonta B or C, Postwar,
with a coated lens and X-synch can generally be had for around $200 to $300
in good condition with some shopping around.
