Yes, the original finder is a non-metering prism. I just did a coverage comparison: They're identical. I focused on a paned window and marked the edge of frame with duct tape. There is no difference between the two finders. Both are the 6x7 variants The TTL is probably older than the non-metering prism, as the logo is Honeywell Pentax, while the non-metering prism has the Asahi Pentax logo. I've become quite fond of the TTL prism, particularly for macro work, where it eliminates the need to calculate an exposure. I've found that the meter, while a simple averaging design, is very accurate, matching both my incident meter and my recently calibrated Spotmeter V exactly when aimed at a uniformly lit surface.
