For Sale FS: Mamiya M645 Kit [CONUS]

[estisdal]

I've been thinking a lot recently about how best to move forward with my photographic hobby and I've finally made a decision. In order to fund a 7D I'll be slowly divesting myself of previous camera purchases, starting with this gem:

Edit: It also comes with all my 120 film. I know I'm a horrible person for never refrigerating expired Velvia.

The standard questions I ask about any old Mamiya 645: Is there any mirror bounce (usually visible at the highest shutter speeds as missing portions of shots)? How is the foam? Any mirror separation in the prism?

What shape are the lenses in? Fungus, scratches, dust, diaphragm oil or scratches, coating separation, smoothness and tension of focusing, wobbly aperture collar, damaged meter coupling prongs, etc?

I've had no issues with mirror bounce when shooting with my 1000s. The foam appears good and the prism is in good condition.

All lenses are fungus- and haze-free, no aperture blade issues that I've seen. The optics, optics coatings, aperture collars, and coupling prongs on all the lenses are in good condition. The focusing ring on the 80 F/1.9 does have a slight bit of resistance at one end, but focuses smoothly. The 55 F/2.8 and 150 F/3.5 both feel normal. The powerwinder has the 6 battery tray and triggers properly as well as stopping correctly when it meets resistance after fully winding the film.
