Want to Buy WTB: Kowa Six

[Amfooty]

I've been wanting to find one for a while, and thought I'd check here first before going to eBay. Looking for one with either the 85 or 55mm lenses.

Having had the Six, Six MM, and the Super 66, I would suggest you try for a Super 66. If you don't need interchangeable magazines I would suggest the Six MM. There are two 55s. The older has a huge front lens and the newer takes 67mm filters like the 85. Both are good.

What's the difference between the Six and Six MM? I don't need interchangeable backs--seems like extra backs are hard enough to find as it is.

PM'd you earlier. The SixMM has a mirror lock up feature, although you can basically get the same function from the Six by using the self timer on the lens.

The Six MM is also later production and seems to have cleaned up some of the problems of the SIX. Self timers, yes, but problematical on older lenses - try before you buy.
