Hi, all -
Picked this camera up a month or so ago. Had fun with it, but didn't quite jive with it, so now it can be yours. A Pentax 645 medium format SLR. Has built-in motor wind, meter (which seems pretty stinkin' accurate), DoF preview. Includes Pentax strap, 120 film insert, and 75/2.8 SMC-A lens. Available with or separately is an SMC-A 45/2.8. Glass is pristine in both lenses.
The camera has some small issues: At some point in its life, it got a ding on the prism. This has ZERO effect on its use. Prism works fine, meter works fine. There's a little foam residue on the mirror from the bumper, but I've noted any leaking with this camera at all. Also, the 75/2.8 has a couple small dings on the filter ring. The effect is that hoods and filters are a little stiff to screw in, but screw in they do, and I've used either a hood or filter on every shot I've taken with this camera.
The 45/2.8 is roughly the equivalent of a 28mm in 135-speak. The only wear evident on this lens is on the lettering of the front cap, and there's a little adhesive residue on the exterior of the rear cap, both included. The glass is sparkling:
An example (actually three) from the 75/2.8:
Dead Link Removed

And one from the 45/2.8:

Some more samples are available here.
Camera, 120 insert, and 75/2.8: $250. 45/2.8: $275. Buy both together: $510. PayPal only - "gift" (or buyer to pay fees at 3%) and shipping via insured Priority. US sales only for now, please.
