Dan, The AE Prism II is designated to go with the 67II. There is no AE Prism I. There is a TTL Prism for non 67II bodies. It is much like using an old spotmatic. Match needle full averaging. All manual adjustments.
The AE Prism II on the 67II is much like using an LX. Aperture Priority or manual with exposure compensation in 1/3 stops. It also has center weighted, matrix and spot metering. In the finder along the bottom out of the view area it show a meter scale for manual, shutter speed, meter mode and flash ready signal. The finder also has a built in eyepiece blind.
