Can someone elaborate on the difference in RB/RZ Prism Finders? Is it just with AE and without AE? Thanks!
RB finders can be used on RZ bodies, without any electronic connections between finder and body. RZ finders cannot fit RB bodies without modification.
As for other differences, three RB finders have meters. The magnifying "chimney" finder, and two different prism finders. Of course there are no connections to the lens controls on an RB.
actually I believe the non metering prism finder model 2 works with both RB and RZ models. I would like to have one of those for portrait work. sorry to keep this thread off topic :s

The Prism II will work on either original RZ Pro or Pro II bodies, no modification needed.

Sometimes there is nomenclature confusion between 'Prism Finder II' and 'Model 2' Prism finders.
Prism finder 'II' is an AE finder for RZ Pro and Pro II model cameras.
Model '2' Prism finders are non-metered and can be used on both RB and RZ.

yes I don't believe this one will work on an RB camera (which is what I have). Only the non metering "model 2" is interchangeable. I wish they had been more systematic about the names for these accessories
