Time to thin the heard. Here are misc. 35mm and MF cameras. I'll do a big batch of Bronica SQ stuff later. Details and links to photos follow below, but here's the Master List
1. Nikon N80 35mm & Nikkor 28-80 1:3.3-5.6 G & guide
2. Zeiss Ikon Nettar folder 120 6x6 & meter
3. Super Ricohflex 120 6x6 & meter
4. Canonet GIII QL-17 35 mm Rangefinder & Canolite D Flash
To keep things simple, I'm offering free USA shipping, insurance and fees on everything; please keep that in mind when considering the prices. I prefer Paypal, but don't really mind waiting on a money order to get here if you prefer. I ship to North America only. Canada shipping would be $10-$15 more, I imagine. I'm much more inclined to sell to APUG members that I've seen around the forums than to people who sign up just to buy -- I'm a little bummed out after some auction site experiences. For what it's worth, my auction site feedback -- where I've sold plenty of photo equipment -- is 100 percent positive. My id on the massive auction site is: classicphotographydude. Please let me know if you have any questions.
THE ITEMS
=================================================
Nikon N80 35mm & Nikkor 28-80 1:3.3-5.6 G & guide
$100 (free USA shipping, insurance, fees)
Like New, In box, with Magic Lantern Guide to the Nikon N80, and strap, cap, manual. Lens comes with caps.

This 35mm setup is like new in the box and would be a great starter or backup for someone. I bought this new from B&H back in the day and I doubt I've shot more than 50 rolls through it. There are lots of places on the Internet to read about this camera and this sleeper lens. It also comes with a separately purchased guide book to the camera -- handy for a beginner.

Zeiss Ikon Nettar folder 120 6x6
Novar-Anastigmat 1:6.3 f/75
Vario Shutter B-25-75-200
$50 plus free shipping and free light meter* and fees
Easiest and most affordable entry into medium format around.
I found one of these that had been cleaned, lubed and adjusted and decided to see if I liked folders. I ended thinking they were very cool and compact, but never really warmed up to the field focusing which works better the further out you get.
You can get close if you are careful, however. Here's a sample picture I took with the camera on a tripod:

Here are pictures of the camera. It works great, but has been engraved and is losing the black paint from the metal bits. You can see that in the pictures. Basically, you want to get this if you want to take pictures -- not one of the higher-end, super collectables in my opinion.

*I got the Gossen CDS Super Pilot light meter with it. It is supposed to work but I haven't tried it. I think it takes one of the old mercury batteries but that there is supposed to be something that will work with it. Again, I'm just throwing it in.
=================================================
Super Ricohflex 120 6x6
$100 - free shipping & free light meter* and fees
I feel in love with the unique lens signature of these cameras after seeing some of the great work done by members here. I started trying to get them on auction sites and ended up with three, two of which were decent. I sent one to a professional for repair and CLA (to establish a benchmark) and tried to fix the other two on my own. I now have two that work great, and am selling the clean one that has been professionally serviced (you can see the paperwork in the photos). As far as I can tell it is perfect.
The price is more than you'd pay on and auction site (guaranteed working ones go between $35 and $75 there). But I've got about $125 in this one and thought I'd see if someone wants it. With free shipping and Insurance the price come down to around $80, I'd say. And there is the free light meter...
*The Gossen Lunasix light meter is another I've ended up with from my trading but have never used. The needle moves around in different lighting, so it seems to function, but I haven't tested it and am just throwing it in.

=================================================
Canonet GIII QL-17 35 mm Rangefinder & Canolite D Flash
$100 plus free USA shipping, insurance, fees.
Here is a Canonet I bought used at the camera store less than a year ago. They had it CLA'd, and I sent it back for new light seals and a focus adjustment. Same as the Ricohflex, I spent a lot of time and trouble trying to find a good one on the auction site before just settling down and paying perhaps $20 too much from a reputable dealer. The reputation of the Canonet is so great I had to try it. Ironically, after all that I've found that in everyday shooting I prefer the Konica Auto S2 I am already used to. (Bigger and heavier, I know).
So at any rate, in case anybody else wants a tested Canonet (it's been engraved, but all the functions seem perfect), here it is. With the flash and the free shipping, I think the price puts it about at auction level. I paid $100 in Nov. 10.
