I bought it off fj.rec.photo in Japan for $300, and sold one of the lenses that came with it for quite a bit more... Yes, it does have a cone lens board for the 135mm, and a recessed for shorter lenses with LTM. Due to the focal length of the condenser, the minimum recommended focal length is 75mm, so I am already stretching the spec a bit with 63mm, though with no diminished illumination in the corners.
