For Sale Konica Instant Press

[Hawkdriver]

Used Konica Instant Press.

Selling it because I'm about to start medical school and need to generate some revenue. Take good care of it, I'll probably buy it back from you in 10 years or so . . . for twice the price.

Bellows were just replaced with new, factory made bellows. They are objectively nicer, and more durable bellows that came on the camera new in the box.

Lens has a minuscule fungus around some portions of the perimeter of the lens disc. It is so small I was unable to show you in the photos. Impact? None, but I have reduced the price considerably. Front and rear elements are unblemished. I have included an up close photo of the lens and the fungus did not show up in the photo. I am disclosing it as being present even though my photos don't show it. I would have my dedicated repair guy take care of it, or I would take a whack at it myself but my time is up and I"m about to pack up my house and move.

Discoloration in the film box lining. Unknown cause. Was like that when I got it, never bothered me.

Small "smudge" or thumbprint visible on the top-left corner of film back . . . right where you put your thumb.

1300 + shipping

Curious what type of film does it need?

Looks like peel apart to me. You can still get some at $50 a pop or some crazy price.

It takes peel-apart – Polaroid 669, Fuji FP-100 and the like. There are still working boxes of film out there but it's all expensive and a crap shoot at this point.

I am in the same situation, I should have sold my 180 and 195 about 5 years ago. Thankfully I have at least 20 packs of FP3000 and I think about 10 of FP100 to use in them. Then I guess I either convert them to 4x5 or hope someone starts making a replacement for pack film.
Where mine at one time were worth about $500 each, they are now worthless,,,,,,,

I'll buy your 195. Message me your asking price.

I still have a bunch of peel apart film for it, once I use that all up I may end up selling both or converting at least one.

 

[Kylefornia]

I’m interested. Any room to budge on price?

 

[Keith Klenowski]

Super late to this conversation. OP mentions a dedicated repair person. I have a broken Instant Press but can’t find anyone to work on it. Didn’t know if there might be any info??

I would start with Greg Weber, if you can get in touch with him. If he doesn't, he might know someone who does.
