I've had this kit for a little more than a year, and haven't had any problems with it. It is in a little less than awesome condition, I'll have to warn you, and the price has been modified to reflect.
The kit comes with a fully working Mamiya M645 1000S in average shape. I put new light seals in it last year, and haven't seen a leak since. It's got a few scuffs and marks, but it's in one piece.
The three lenses that come with it are pretty standard issue, and I've shot with them a good deal.
The 55mm f/2.8 works well and makes sharp images. Its mount is slightly loose, however, and it does wobble when mounted to the camera if you don't watch it. Not a deal breaker, but awkward until you get used to it.
The 80mm f/2.8 has oil on the aperture blades that prevent it from stopping down. It works great at 2.8 though! Seriously though, I'm just going to throw this in because I have it... otherwise I can throw it away. I've made some good shots with it, but only at f/2.8. Good if you need the light!
Believe it or not, the 150mm f/3.5 has no real issues... except a dent in the filters. That's really the only damage to the kit I can take credit for. It's probably a dent you can get out, but no promises.
So sure, some of the kit may be junk, but at $200 or best offer, is it really so bad?
Oh, I'm also interested in trades. I'm especially interested in Nikon lenses or Nikon AF bodies, but nothing is too strange to offer (except cats, I'm allergic and they're tricky to ship). PM me if you're interested.
