For Sale FS: Hy6 Mod 2 System (Extensive Kit)

I am raising funds for the build out of Northeast Photographic's new commercial space located in Bath Maine. We will be expanding all of our services and offering a rental darkroom, plus workshops and other areas of community outreach. Sadly this means certain luxuries that I've held onto must go. This is the finest camera I've ever used, and if I have the means someday I would snap one up in one instant. But I need to hire plumbers, and electrician, buy furniture, paint the walls, install ventilation, hire movers!, basically the works...so maybe you can enable the continued success of my little lab here in Maine, and get yourself the finest way to expose film on the planet.

Camera Kit:
Hy6 Mod 2 Body
80/2.8 AFD + Hood
WLF
45˚ Prism finder (Leaf AFi Green)
6060 back
Extra Insert
2 batteries + charger
9mm Ext Tube
Metz side mounted flash

^^^^ All of the above for $6000 net to me. I have boxes for a lot of these items, but not all the accessories. The camera kit alone new is about $10k, so this is significant savings. The camera shows signs of use but has no issue areas, it's been a real rockstar in my kit when I've shot it.

Lenses:

50mm 2.8 AFD with metal hood and filter. Excellent condition. $1500

180mm 2.8 PQ (manual focus) with 1.4X tele extender. Equally excellent condition and my favorite of all the three lenses possibly. $1500.

The included photos are just to get this post up, if you're seriously interested in investing in this system let me know and I'll provide whatever you need. For anyone that wants to buy everything included, I will make a bundle deal.

Incredible kit! GLWS

Wish I was closer (in Michigan) I would volunteer some hours. Sounds like a interesting project and this carpenter is slowing down with the weather. What do they say about idle hands? Haha

best of luck

I'm already sinking in equipment. That's an amazing instrument. Such an opportunity doesn't come along very often. Glad to hear about your business.

Thanks folks! Very exciting times for NP. I'm hoping NP HQ will do a lot to sustain interest in analog mediums in New England. My mentality is that if you make it easy to shoot film and get great results, people will do it!

Sounds like a great plan. From what I've read online The New England Center for Photography in Dover, NH. does really well. I would think/hope that your location would do very well too with all that would be available to photograph. I think I'll have to jump on Rt1 and take the 2-hour drive north to check it out after things get back to normal.

Here are some better images of the camera and the lenses that I took with my digital camera. Hopefully you find them helpful!

I'm going to drop my asking price to $5500 plus PP fee for the base Hy6 kit with accessories. The lens prices will remain the same.

At that price I will have UPS or FedEx overnight the kit to anywhere in the contiguous USA. If you are willing to come to Maine I will accept $5250, but we will have to meet at NP HQ and masks will be required. However I will be happy to demo the camera and give you a run-down on it's use.

I’m going to open this up to more offers now. I’m a bit motivated to move this at the moment. Let me know if you have a reasonable offer.

The Hy6 kit and the 50mm have sold. The 180mm plus teleconverter remains.
