What do you think this is worth?

Depth · Jul 11, 2010

So I have the opportunity to buy some old MF gear but the person really doesn't know the value. So they want me to offer them a price.

Heres the gear (all of it has basically seen no use. Even has the original manuals.)

- Mamiya C330 + 80mm f/2.8 (Front cap)
- Mamiya 55mm f/4.5 (front & rear caps + case)
- Mamiya 180mm f/4.5 (front & rear caps + case)
- Sekonic Studio Deluxe (model l28 C2) + case & manual
- Vivitar Auto 253
- Some Toshiba color filters
- Grip

So what do you think it's worth?

If needed I can post some pics.

I'd suggest that you look at closing prices of ebay auctions.

Condition matters and Mamiya TLR stuff is selling for peanuts...I'd offer no more than $ 450

If this is your way of advertising the kit for sale I'll offer you $200 for all.

Not advertising.

You could look up KEH.

It is worth what the market will bear. What you need to know is the condition of the equipment and if it is operational. Make a low ball offer like $250 and work up from there. I would think from doing a little research my self that that set up is about $400-500. You also need to consider, is it going to need a CLA?

The Mamiya C equipment ranges over a 40 year production period. The 55mm is going to be a Seiko shutter lens. The 80mm could be any of five versions. If it is contemporaneous with the C330 then a Seiko shutter would be normal. The 180mm could be a chrome Seikosha shutter model, or the Seiko shuttered plain 180 or the 180mm Super. I would not pay a lot for the chrome Seikosha shutter lenses. The Mamiya grips vary a lot in type. The pricing suggestions seem reasonable for fully functional items.

The exact equipment set will govern the price. See http://grahampatterson.home.comcast.net/~grahampatterson/grahamp/mfaq/m_faq.html for all the Mamiya permutations.

Doesn't look like it needs a CLA. I ran a roll through it so I'll see how that turns out.

Here are some pics.

(I was using the Voigtlander VC II to meter stuff when testing the C330 out)

What do you think this is worth?
