Yep, C.H. is exactly correct. They're pretty useless for normal picture
taking unless some wizard uncements the clear screen from the prism and puts
in a ground glass for focusing.
And yes, they appear often on E*ay, but curiously, only about 250f the
sellers mention that they can't be use for general photography. I guess
it's buyer-beware.

I think this is for microscope or endoscope use, with circular
viewfinder screen, no TTL metering. A special Pen F for medical use,
sometimes appear in ebay.
