Hi, can I use the new 67II Waist level finder with my classic 67 body? Thanks for any help, Jordan.

I bought the 67II's WLF new because I couldn't find a used one at the time I needed it. After hearing about some uncompatibility between the prisms I also was a bit skeptical, but the seller at a pro store in Munich assured me it fits just perfectly. It really does and being brand new you get the smooth opening, unscratched loupe and years of folding up and down. The only thing that is not interchangeable between 67 and 67II is the AE prism. Otherwise all finder accessories fit each body from each generation - the normal prism, WLF and loupe finder. Isn't that great?
