On impulse I have just bought home the following:

Mamiya m645 1000s
45mm 2.8
80mm 2.8
80mm 1.4
150mm 3.5
210mm 1.4
Side grip
Cases for all lens in mint condition
A auto macro spacer
Straps
5 100Tmax
1 X Fujicolour Pro 160
All in a mint pelican case, seriously this kit has not been used very much at all.

And I do not even know how to turn it on (if indeed you do)...lol....just bought on impulse, rest of my night will reading manuals, which are pristine, as is the whole kit, I know I am going to love this setup, I just have to figure out how to use it, I come from a Nikon Film (F3 & F100) background.

I think I am going to be living in this forum for a while, but I am very excited about it.

Congrats. Looks like fun. We may be near the end for film but it's a great time to try all of the gear we've been dreaming of but never could afford. I'm loving it, and for the record I don't think we are yet at the end.

Congrats! You will love this kit!!

Did you mean 80mm f 4 macro lens as there isn't a 80mm 1.4? I presume so since you mention the auto macro spacer and already having the 80mm 2.8.

I believe the 210mm is f 4, although we wish it was 1.4.

Do you have a viewfinder with or without a meter or the waist level finder?

Are the seals looking good? I only ask because I just bought a 1000s and need to reseal it, was really easy and inexpensive.

Congrats, you have yourself a kit that will keep you busy and inspired for ages.

Best!

yes, sorry, I do mean the 80mmf4 macro lens, and of course the 210 is f4, viewfinder has meter but I have a line on a waist level finder which I feel will compliment this kit well. seals look great I do not think they need replacing.

So far I have learned how to fit lens, lol, and how to turn meter on, have fitted side grip, how to load film, am so pumped with this kit.

Thanks for all replies above, appreciate the sharing.

Decent? Heck yeah!! I have a 1000s and a 80mm and think I'm doing great so you are doing amazing with all that gear!!

One thought, I have a metered viewfinder and a waistlevel; however, when you want to take a photo using the waistlevel that is portrait orientated, it won't work out too well, the image in the finder will not adjust like the metered finder. Just something to keep in mind. Basically I keep the metered prism close in case I need to change orientation and need a accurate view.

That's a beautiful kit. Congratulations.

The hardest part for me was figuring out how to open the film door.

I'm not advertising, I'm hoping for some directions.
I've been thinking of selling my kit, M645 1000s + 80/1.9C + 45/2.8C + CDs prism + 120&220 inserts + P6>M645 lens adapter. everything looks mint works like charm, how much would you APUG-ers think would be a fair price to ask?

Hi,
I bought a Mamiya 645 Pro and some lenses last year. Your lenses and camera are listed in Keh's web site. You can easily determine the price from their listings. Keh listings and *bay auctions (not Buy it now) differ by 30-40% Keh being more expensive but Keh gives return warranty. These prices are for US in other parts of the world probably diffrent.
