No famous fake here, in a similar vein, Porter's new catalogue (p.26)and online at http://porterscamerastore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=01-0578&Category_Code=C3P lists the Promaster 2500PK. $140 w/50mmlens. Strange but cheep. Takes PK mount lenses, has dept-of-field preview, TTL meter with 3 LED exposure indicator, totally manual SLR. I don't know origin of promaster products. Cheers, Bob
