Hi John:
It sounds decent, but it isn't worth too much to me. I may buy one eventually and will keep yours in mind. There are deals out there to be had if you look. What would you want for yours?

want one? only catch is, you'll have to buy my whole system, and I'm
not sure what its worth.
Its an older style Pentax 6x7 (with mirror lockup), non-metered
pentaprism finder, I have a 105mm f/2.4 Super-Takumar 'normal' lens, a
135mm f/4 SMC-Takumar Macro lens, and a 55mm f/3.5 Super-Takumar wide
angle (rectilinear wide angle with almost 90 degree FOV). Also the
three piece macro tube set for it. and the wooden handle which has a
strobe shoe (non-hot). Last time I used it, it was in very good
condition but its been sitting a couple years. the macro tubes on the
135 get you right down to 1:1 closeup (and that is one of the sharpest
pieces of glass I've seen on any camera anywhere). I'll even throw in
an old Pentax Spot Meter (the needle one, not the later digital one),
which was still right on last time I had it checked.
