Thinning out my camera collection. I've got a Mamiya Super 23G with a Graflok back that I would like to sell, along with 2 lenses: a 100mm f3.5 and a 150mm f5.6. Body comes with a working grip and native cable release, both in excellent condition, and the body itself is in very good condition aside from two small gouges that were made in the right side of the back by the previous owner (does not in any way affect the use of a film back, but it's there). Rangefinder is bright and clear and pretty close to perfectly synced with each lens; 100-150-250 viewfinder mask switches easily and works great as well. The Graflok back works smoothly and locks tightly, and the camera's rear bellows are light tight and can be locked down without any problem.
Both lenses are in excellent condition, and they are both new enough to have easy to use press focus (i.e., preview) levers, so you don't have to set the shutter to the Bulb setting, as you do on some of the older Mamiya Press lenses. The 100mm has some internal dust, but nothing serious; the glass on both lenses is clear, without any haze or coating marks.
Note that in addition to being able to shoot with back tilt and swing, this camera also provides you with the option of using MANY different roll film or cut film holders. It will work with both the RB67 6x7 back as well as the RB67 6x8 motorized back; it will also work with the Type A Mamiya Cut Film 6x9 back (I had one of those but sold it recently). Several people have posted intructions for using Wista rollfilm backs on these, too -- and of course it will take any Graflex 6x6, 6x7, or 6x9 holder (one made for a Baby Graphic or 2x3 Speed, that is -- not one designed for use with a 4x5 camera).
I'm also throwing in a Mamiya Cut Film Pack adapter that I intended to turn into a focus screen (ground glass) holder, which should still be easy enough to do -- anyway, you can see it attached to the Graflok back in the last photo.
All in all, this is a terrific setup; easy to use, lightweight, and flexible. I'd like to get $385 for everything, via PayPal. I'm flexible on shipping, but I prefer to ship Priority Mail through the US Post Office.
Please note that I am not receiving notifications from this board when I get PMs, so you need to EMAIL me if you want a quick response. Thanks!
