This item was recently sold on the board, but the buyer opted to return the camera to me after noting some flaws which I will describe in the post. The price has been reduced and the pot has been sweetened as a result of his findings!
The RB67 Pro-S pictured below was purchased used a few years back and has seen occasional use by me. When I purchased the camera it had no lenses so I purchased two: a 180mm KL/L and a 90mm KL/L at some insane price point. They've proved to be great lenses which produce tack sharp images. However, as was noted by the previous purchaser the mounting flange on the 90mm is slightly out of round so it is a little more difficult to mount than the 180mm, but, it does not affect the image quality and the area in question is barely visible.
The camera is in good shape overall and I would score it at about a 75% aesthetically. The leatherette on the back is peeling slightly which is the reason for the score being slightly low. Given the age of the camera, though, it is in excellent condition. In addition to the aesthetic issues it should be noted that the back on the camera is a non pro-s back and may have some light leak issues. I have not tested the camera, but the previous purchaser did and noted some slight leaks. To rectify the issue I am including an unused set of seals with the camera for you to do as you would like.
The last item which is not pictured is a 180mm C lens which I am throwing in. The lens is in good condition but hasn't been used for quite some time. With my wife and I relocating to Japan I am in need of thinning out the collection and would like to see all of these items go to a good home in the APUG family.
While the camera is aesthetically in great shape it's been a couple of years since I put any film through it. The shutters have been regularly tripped on both lenses and they sound close to accurate. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. This will be my final post on APUG regarding this camera before it goes to eBay or permanent storage so good luck!
*I will be in Nashville (Murfreesboro), TN for the remainder of the week and if you would like to meet up to see the equipment in person I would be happy to do so*
