Medium format film (hasselblad/mamiya?)

[dmora]

I was hoping someone had a medium format film camera they're looking to unload. I want to play with one, so it doesnt need to be pretty, but i'd like it to be 100% working.

I'd prefer an old Hass 500 version

Saw this a little while ago:

Calumet 4x5 camera body

And also this if you want to develop:

Complete darkroom setup incl. chemicals

I was hoping for something more portBle than a 4x5. :o

And I love waist level VF.

i just did some price shopping of what I was hoping for, this stuff is WAY out of my price range for just a camera to goof around with vs my dslrs. :(
I was hoping to get a cheap kit for around 500 or less.

As Walter Sobchak would say, "Donnie you're out of your element." :(

I spose this can be locked.

There is a 645 in the b/s forum for $350.

i'm not interested in a modern MF (645). I played with one at school today. I hated its bulk. Just as big and conspicuous as a dslr which defeats the purpose of why i want one. The old ones were much nicer. Just a little box at my waist.

Not much difference physically in the Hassy or Mamiya.

You can get a waist level finder for the 645.

Side grip is an option, (on the two I own) it comes off and is replaced with the crank handle for film advance.
