The owner of my local camera shop surprised me by
offering to sell me the FB-1 system finder base and
FC-1 action eyepiece together for $100. They're even
brand new in the box - though the top cap for the FB-1
is broken. Otherwise, they're flawless. B&H wants $249
for the base and $99 for the eyepiece, both from their
used department. Needless to say, I decided budget be
damned, it's going home with me. I'll just have to eat
ramen noodles for a month. :)

I wonder if the decrease in popularity of film will
cause accessories such as this for the pro film
cameras to severely drop in price. I have noticed that
high end Nikon film stuff is selling far cheaper than
just a couple years ago, and it seems to me that the
Pentax stuff hasn't dropped nearly as much - actually
going up in some cases.
