For Sale Ebony 45s, Bronica RF645 c/w 65, RF645 45mm and Viewfinder

Ebony 45s, Mint **** GBP 1700. New this camera would cost GBP 2964 from Robert White incl VAT. This one is in beautiful condition, the bellows and immaculate, supple, no wear, nice and juicy… along with the rich (oiled and maintained) wood. The photos don't come close to doing it justice! The metal has a few very minor rubs, but you have to look for them. The base has a some minor swirls from tripod use as per the photo and everything of course functions perfectly. I bought this a few years ago when thinking I would be returning to the UK and settling down. That never happened (and isn't going to) so I have given up! I sold my 10x8 some time back and now this has to go. This is a great 5x4 field camera for wide angle lovers in particular. I originally had a RSW45 and sold it to buy this so I would have more longer lens options, but circumstances changed before it got any real use. All the movements a field user would ever need, nice and light and a work of art to look at.

Bronica RF645 Body + 65mm ***** GBP 375. Flawless lens surfaces and operation. The lens is mint and the body a good Exc+. No dents or nasties, only some minor paint marks and some scratches on the bottom. The rangefinder is slightly misaligned vertically (minor) but otherwise dead accurate (I have not bothered to fix it, personally). With the below WA, you have a great lightweight travel outfit with wonderful image quality.

Bronica RF645 45mm Lens and Viewfinder ***** GBP 375. Mint, mint, mint and might as well be new. Comes with caps, shade, viewfinder, VF soft case and original box. This is an exceptional lens and probably the best all round wide angle focal length for this format.

I would very much prefer to sell these within the UK but international bids will be considered on a case by case basis.

Hey Tom, selling the RF645 eh? Just curious, how does 375 GBP translate to USD?

Yes Brian, it is part of the clear out. I mainly shoot 35mm RF now and have too many cameras! I sold one RF645 body about six months ago and now I'm selling the remainder off.

The price works out at $615. If you want it, I will be coming to the US in 6 days (DC) and can bring it with and mail it from there.

The RF645 c/w 65mm has sold

That is a great price for an RF645. I've been thinking of buying another one down the line but I'm not sure. I shoot more Mamiya 6 than anything. Sad to see you sell the RF645. You took some great photos with that camera!

I'm interested in the 45mm. Please contact me at rlighton@verizon.net.

Thanks,
Robert

Thanks Brian. Its now has a new home and hopefully a lot more shots to come from it. The 45mm has some interest and is fantastic on this camera. I have to say that I am getting more and more into 35mm for what the small handy cameras allow me to do. Scenics with the Mamiya are great, but I am enjoying getting right into the action with a 24-28mm lens and not caring too much about technical quality. On my next trip to India to finish off a small project I will take 35mm alone I think. Ok, maybe one Mamiya 7 body and the 50mm

Tom, you better be taking a MF rangefinder!! make me proud.. . You have enough skill as a photographer it doesn't matter what format you shoot you're going to produce great photographs. I enjoy seeing your work.
