I'll ship anywhere at cost via USPS. Except maybe Russia. The last time I shipped to Russia, it took more than 3 months to arrive >.<

What's the condition of the camera body and the lens? Maybe some photos taken with the kit?

Condition is used. But everything works. The lens is in better condition than the body. I looked through my HD and I did not find any photos. I have a few rolls, but no scanner at the moment.

So, basically you have no personal experience with this kit??

I guess your reading comprehension isn't quite up to par. In the post that you quoted, I wrote that I have a few rolls from the camera, but I don't have a scanner at the moment.

I find it interesting this hasn't sold. The whole kit for $300 is amazing. I have a GS-1 system and I think it is outstanding. I don't recall how I happened upon this Bronica model, but I know it was by accident. They were made for a short time before Bronica stopped production of film cameras, they are a bit of an orphan. The quality out of them is crazy good. A big 6x7 neg, accurate Seiko electronic between the lens shutters, outstanding lenses, aperture priority AE with the right prism, very handholdable and lightweight for a 6x7 system camera.

Actually, the GS-1 came out in the early 80's- I think it was '83. So about 20 years total.

Thanks for posting the photos. I hope someone buys your rig, or I'll be tempting to grab it! I just reduced my collection of 35mm pentax bodies to make room for a 645 format, but that GS-1 is starting to make me rethink my medium format choices!

I also have a 6x6 back for the GS-1. Having trouble finding info for how to price it. If you're interested, shoot me a PM.

Wow! This is a steal; I picked up my GS1 used (when a Rollei 66 I had originally purchased used, showed intermittent flash synching issues) - cost me $1500 with the AE Prism and 150mm.

It's an absolute delight to use handheld, and I love the 6x7 neg size. Anyone looking to get in 6x7 should give real thought to this system - if you decide you have to go 6x6 (or 6x4.5), you just need to pick up a back and away you go. :smile:
