OK, all dreams have hitches. Whattaya gonna do?
Up for consideration is a Mamiya M645, the original model with the 1/500 top speed. Included are the 45mm Mamiya Sekor C 2.8N, an 80 mm Sekor C 2.8, a 150 mm Sekor F4, and a 210 mm Sekor f4.
All some minor use, no dents, dings, scratches, or other stuff. A solid EXC- from KEH. Glass all pristine.
Also included is an original Mamiya 645 Handle, a waist-level finder AND a non-metered prism finder, two film inserts (one in a box), lens caps, skylight filters, a yellow filter for the 45mm lens. Strap for the camera.
And, the camera body. Well, I told you all dreams have hitches. This camera body was working fine last month, I swear, but a cupla weeks ago I took it down to play and it was not working right. The battery tests good, the camera fires, but the shutter does not close the second shutter curtain. The second shutter curtain releases if you push on the check light button. About one time in 20 it works right, but I have no idea what's wrong, I'm not a repair person, I suspect electronic decay, but what do I know? Might be something simple like a contact not contacting.
These bodies are cheap -- $75 or so will get you a very good one. So why don't I?
This is a sign. Fate doesn't want me to use this camera.
I just put up a show here in Ogden (Myra Powell Gallery at Union Station, open until Dec. 3. Come on down!) and not a single image was shot with this camera. All were shot with Leica or Rolleiflex. It was cool to have this outfit, but it came to me by chance, no sense in keeping it, my loss is your gain.
So: $400 ships the whole shebang to you, and I am willing to consider reasonable offers.
$100 of the sale price will go to Catholic Community Services of Ogden. This is a wonderful charity, it feeds thousands of people every month, and it will get $100 no matter what I sell the camera outfit for.
The rest just about pays me back for the shipping, the 45mm lens which I just bought in June, and replacing the light seals on the camera. Perhaps you can fix the camera, or just replace it. If you price the lenses, you can see I'm selling them below market and tossing in the camera and other stuff for free. Get yourself a cheap body somewhere, you are in business.
Paypal is the best way to get this thing in the mail to you -- summicron12000@yahoo.com.
More charity items coming very soon. If you come to Ogden to pick anything up and see my show, lunch is on me.
