Meopta VI 6x6 cm TLR for sale. I have had this camera for about six years but only run five or six rolls through it. Time for it to move on. 12 exposures on 120 film, this is a very nice student camera or starter if you are interested in medium format. Ships from USA.

This was purchased from on-line seller cupog and works very well. 80mm/f3.5 Belar lens is very sharp, leaf shutter is Metax with speeds 1 - 1/400 second. This has a standard PC flash connector, side shoe for a flash and X-sync. Film advance works easily and gives a very consistent 6.5 mm space between frames. The lever focusing takes a little time to get used to but is very fast. Focus screen is a grid pattern.

There are plenty of attachments for these cameras, such as 35mm film adapters and special bayonet (B36) filters. This one only includes the leather case and original lens cap. I've used Series 6 filters and hood on this with a push-on adapter. Besides some normal body wear from use, the only faults are some pulled stitching on the case and the need to push firmly on the shutter release to be sure it unlocks the film advance after you shoot. If you are accustomed to mechanical 35mm SLR's with focal plane shutters you will have no problem.

$120 plus shipping, which will be $15-20 in USA. Elsewhere, ask for a quote. I accept paypal from the verified address.
