Recently sold my Contax 645 Pro Kit as I'm not shooting weddings anymore, so here's the remaining bunch of massive kit for the Contax system, or adapted for it, that is left. Please put them to good use! In the 2 years I shot with the Contax these have been well cared for, and generally everything is in EXC condition unless otherwise noted. All prices include PayPal transaction fees, but not shipping. I would prefer to keep these within continental USA, but shipping worldwide can be discussed.
Full list below:
645 EXTRAS:
- MFB-1 film back ($120), EXC-
- MFB-1A 120/220 Insert ($SOLD)
- MFB-1B 220 vacuum insert ($50), BGN+ comes in plastic case; some signs of wear on film roller that may lead to cracking failure, but I've had zero issues with it thus far.
- Polaroid back (EXC $50) - still has 7 exposures left of fresh FP-100C in there. Useful for testing lighting, always kept cool
- Battery grip ($200), EXC+ works perfect with back-button AF and AA batteries, can be bundled w/ pro kit and fits inside one box.
- LA-50 cable release ($25), LN- works great for tripod work, boxed
- MF-2 Waist-level Viewfinder ($300), EXC+, No scratches but diopter (-1.5) could use a cleaning. Boxed
- Really Right Stuff tripod plate with anti-rotation locking pins (also works on Mamiya 645 / RZ) for arca-swiss tripod compatibility. $25 if separated.
LENSES / ADAPTERS:
- GB-71 Lens Hood for 80mm F2 Planar or 55mm ($70) - EXC- cond
- Distagon 35mm F3.5, ($900) LN- awesome 21mm focal length equivalent for groups or landscapes, comes with gigantic petal hood and Contax blue pouch
- Sonnar 140/2.8, ($320), EXC+, all caps, very few tiny internal dust but otherwise great condition, 90mm equivalent for tight shots
- Contax 13mm Auto-Extension Tube for 645, $150, perfect for closeups
- Pentacon Six (P6) to Contax 645 lens adapter ($20) - for anyone who wants to try vintage Pentacon lenses like the CZJ Sonnar 120/2.8 or Exacta66 Schneiders on their Contax. I have a P6 CZJ Flektogon 50mm F4 also which I can add for $150.
FLASH ACCESSORIES (also work with other Contax cameras):
- TLA360 Flash, EXC (SOLD)
- TLA30 Flash, BGN+ ($25), works perfect, has sync port to work with extender cables, full manual or TTL with Contax bodies. Powerful and bounce-capable, works with all Contax / Yashica bodies AFAIK
- PS-220 Power Pack for TLA360 flash ($50), power pack takes a ton of C batteries, LN- works great with TLA360. This would also work with Nikon flashes if you mill down the connector end a bit (the plastic shape makes it a bit incompatible, but a Contax Flash will take a Bolt / Quantum cable just fine.
- Contax Extension Cord TLA 300SS, 100SS (3 available) ($10 ea)
- Contax Extension Cord TLA 100S ($10 ea, 2 available) - hotshoe-adapter that connects to Contax flashes' plugs for full TTL.
- Contax TLA Multi Connector ($5 ea, 2 available) - one of them has one non-functioning connector (on one end). You can daisy chain the long and short cords to form a studio flash setup with Contax flashes.
