One of these you mean? Not sure how many were made but I think they were display items for dealers. After all, a see through film camera isn't very functional!

Was it for sale?

Cheers, Kris.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Handy for those times when you've forgotten which film you had loaded?

There was once a vogue for pre-fogging film, this could do the job!

The very same, I didn't take a picture but I didn't see a price tag either....would be good to get it for the 'see-through' 35-70 to stick on the front of the K-5...
