For Sale FS: Mamiya 7 with 43mm and 150mm with L bracket. LOW PRICE!

[Katie]

With a HEAVY heart I am listing my BELOVED Mamiya 7 setup. It consists of:
Mamiya 7 body with strap
43mm lens WITH finder and caps. Comes with box and ORANGE filter
150mm lens with caps, pelican bag and UV filter
Coveted L bracket (I worked hard to find this one!)

I am asking only $1700 for the setup. THAT IS A STEAL. I need the funds, as I just pulled the trigger on the most expensive digital body I've ever had.

One note about the 43mm lens - just so you are informed - it has a *slight* scratch on the front element. It does not affect image quality at all. I can send you many scans of images if you'd like to check it out. It draws beautifully - sharp as nails!

Also, regarding the 150mm ... some people have said their copy is difficult to focus wide open, however, I have shot this lens almost exclusively wide open AND at minimum focus distance and NEVER had a missed shot. Ever. Even on a self timer of me and a child!

This kit is THE ULTIMATE medium format kit - sharp and dependable. I love it dearly, but MUST fund a new purchase. Please give her a good home and use her to her potential.

That's a 2-lens Mamiya 7 kit with extras for the price of a 1-lens Fujifilm GF670 without the extras.

Sweet. (And I own a GF670...)

But I can't honestly say I'm happy to see you selling it. It seemed by seeing your photographs to be such a good match for you.

Thank you, ken. It's a mixed feeling here ... I don't want to be so heavily invested in equipment; but I don't want to see it go either. I hope I don't regret it... I'll give it the weekend to ponder; who knows, I might pull the listing!

 

[Steve Goldstein]

Katie, do you know who made the L-bracket? I've never seen one for the M7, though I confess I haven't checked the RRS website for a long time.

 

[Katie]

I think it's a Kirk brand.

Well... if you get my name pulled out of the Blind Print Exchange hat for this upcoming round, send me something from this camera, OK?

[Katie]

Of course, Ken. Just expect a print from me regardless of who I draw. PM me your address!

Also, I have someone interested in the kit - so if your considering it - make your move! Also, I CAN take a credit card, if that I interests you...

 

[Katie]

I have LOTS of 120 film to put with it as a starting point for you, too ... let me know if you'd like Tri-X, T-Max, Velvia, etc...
