There are several versions (at least 2). This price is rather excessive.
Look at http://www.keh.com/ Their "BGN" grade is much better than just about
any pawnshop equipment I've seen.

That might not be too bad if it's in good shape (foam good and 2 million +
serial # (I think that's the better shutter)) given the high price of the
adapter. My local pawn shops want ridiculous prices, but sometimes they make
mistakes like selling a Canon A-1 as an AE-1.
