Is a Mamiya Cds finder an AE finder?

[MTLPhotog]

I'm a bit confused, and forgive me for not getting what might be obvious to others, but here we are. I'm looking at AE finders for my M645 on ebay, and under "AE prism finders," there appears to be a mix of PD, Cds, and "true" AE finders. Is this misleading, or is Cds just a subset of AE. Thanks!

There is a lot of misdescribed camera gear on eBay.

See the M645 finders here:

The "CDS Finder" does not provide AE

Okay, thanks for that answer. It would appear as though I've been sold a CDS as opposed to AE. As I'm new to these cameras, I guess stuff like that can happen. Well, gosh. What a drag.

Thanks for the link, as well. Appreciated!

You may want to try Butkus' web site. He has a huge number of owner's manuals for download (for a donation fee). The money I've paid him has more than been offset by the savings I've made in not buying the wrong accessory, lens, etc.
