For Sale FS: Koni Omega Rapid 100 with 135mm lens (!), 90mm lens and 220 back for Rapid Omega 200

[Grim Tuesday]

I got this camera thinking I'd shoot it but I just hate the form factor and I've gotten so busy and my life cluttered with cameras I need to move it to a new home



Body:

• I've never shot the camera but the rangefinder seems accurate based on a ground glass on the film plane
• I ran a roll of film through and marked the frames with a sharpie and the frame spacing was even. Which is very good with this camera, that is one of the more unreliable parts in general. The advance is very smooth.
  
• Viewfinder and frame lines are bright, brighter than a Koni Omega 200 I once had
• Has new-ish light seals so I think it was serviced somewhat recently

135mm:

• The 135mm lens is almost impossible to find and some people say it is the best medium format lens ever made
• The shutter on the 135 is very accurate, all speeds are within a half stop of accurate, most are within 10%!
  
• Other than the haze noted below there are no scratches or fungus on the 135mm and it comes with the case
• The little rangefinder coupling pins move and spring back like they should
• Has light haze on one of the interior elements in the rear. But it's one of the rarest medium format lenses around (some people don't even believe it exists...) and I'm sure if you're buying it you'll send it right to Greg Weber to get it cleaned up. It's on the light side of haze but might affect image quality

90mm:

• Comes with a collapsible hood and has a shutter that is about a half stop slow on all the useful speeds (1/500 - 1/125)
• Has fungus. It will probably affect image quality. It's not terribly difficult to clean one of these but I don't have the time to do it right now.

220 back:

• The 220 back is for the Rapid Omega 200, not this camera. But it comes with the FULL back with dark slide, not just the rear part so you could use it in conjunction with the half-back that often turns up on ebay to make a full 120 back.

Prices:

• Body - $90 shipped in US BODY SOLD
  
• 90 mm - $10 with the body, $25 by itself 90mm SOLD
  
• 135mm - $375 shipped, $360 with the body SOLD
  
• 220 back for Rapid Omega 200 (not for this camera) - $35 shipped SOLD
  
• Everything together: $485 SOLD
