Looking for a reliable P6 mount camera with accurate shutter speeds. Bottom line is I need a light tight P6 mount box with an accurate shutter to which to attach my Kickstarter Petzvar lens when it arrives. Would prefer a plain prism finder and would look at others. Not particularly interested in something needing repair. Bill Barber
A Kiev 88CM will do too (not the Kiev80 though).
That's what I'm getting for my Petzvar lens.

The Kiev 88 is an almost direct clone of the original Hasselblad 1600 F sometimes jokingly referred to as a Hasselbladski. The Kiev 88 used a screw type lens mount similar to the original Hasselblad mount, however there are mixed reports on compatibility between the two. The Kiev 88 lens mount was modified to accept most Pentacon Six mount lenses around 1999 and designated the Kiev 88CM.
I pulled the trigger on an ARAX - 60 last night. Canceled a snipe bid in on a Pentacon Six TL which was $100+ higher than the winning bid and decided to go with the ARAX. Couldn't get the answers from the seller that I needed and everything I've read about ARAX would indicate this guy takes care of business if their is a problem. I like that. Bill Barber
