Hi John,
the adaption I have, may not be from Baier - mine fits fairly and looks a
little bit self-made - but this is not the important part anyway. First, the
batteries - instead of batteries you can take 3 coin batteries type LR44. That
works fine. After using my Kiev for a while, it showed strange values - I
checked with my old Sekonic Multi-Lumi L-248 (analog) and found out, that the
spot metering wasn't working anymore. After disassembling the viewer, there
were no signs of broken wires or lose soldering points. Then, after putting it
back together again, at least the normal meter worked, stopped working, worked
again and so on.
I'll have to send it to Baier to let it be checked. If it is in a condition,
worth to be repaired, we'll talk about the costs. If it's a reasonable price,
I'll let it be repaired and sell it.
If I go out to take photos, I don't want to take care of the technical stuff.
So I want to have reliable equipment. That's why I'm looking for a PME 90 to
adapt to my Rolleis. The best solution would be the swivel-device of the
original Rollei Prism of the SL66 and the 6008 with a swapping-frame for the
the PME 90 - the optical correction is the next thing to achieve.
If you want to have a ready-to-go prism, the Baier Kiev is an alternative.
Maybe I just wasn't so lucky with eBuy;)
Kind regards
Uwe

Uwe,
One of the readers of Club Rollei User has asked if anybody has used a Baier
Foto Kiev prism to SL66 adaption and what they think of it...
I note from your previous post that you would prefer a Hassy adaption, but ask
what your general impression of the Kiev prism is?
I hope you would be happy for me to pass your comments on to him?
John
