Hi,
I love this camera, don't want to sell, but I desperately need to downsize. There will be more Press stuff this month.
Mamiya Press camera:
- Bellows intact, all movements work, movement posts lubricated
- The rangefinder was cleaned, beamsplitter was replaced - focusing patch is crisp and clear now
- Rangefinder was calibrated to 100mm f/3.5 lens
- The front face plate was cracked, so I replaced it with exact 3d-printed replica. I include the original plate, it's been repaired and sprayed with primer, waiting on paint.
- The sliding mask for 150mm is behind the face plate and still works as intended
- No mold, separation, haze, etc!
- The pistol grip with cable release works well
- The 6x9 film back has options for other formats but it doesn't have the required masks. No issues using it with 6x9, good frame spacing. New internal light seals from Aki Asahi.
This camera has a higher magnification of viewfinder compared to later models. The lens latching mechanism is also easier to use (knob instead of twisting the rim around).
Tested with multiple film rolls, never let me down. I visited multiple national parks with this camera. To start shooting, you just need a lens.
Price: $150 + S/H
