PRICE DROPPED TO $3000 for the complete kit. I have a car, so I can also deliver in the greater NYC area (CT, West Chester, NJ, Long Island). I PREFER local NYC pickup as I want you the buyer to know exactly what you are buying and I despise paypal and dealing with long distance sales, and don't really have good pictures of the equipment to offer. I just want to sell it for a _fair_ price to somone who will _love it and use it_. I am open to well reasoned discussions as to why I have overestimated the value, so if you really want this kit, but reasonably believe it's WORTH less, then convince me. Or, I will sell the complete set for 4000. $2900 (ebay esitmate) for the "645 Kit" w/ the 80mm lens.

But will consider shipping in the right circumstances.Ĭontax 645 Medium Format film camera with 80mm, 35mm and 140mm lenses and TTL flasg. I PREFER a local buyer as it's less stressful for everyone.
