Zeiss Super Ikonta C 531/2 with Tessar 105mm f3.5 (EXCL) - $235 ($10 shipping)
Purchased this beauty from Jurgen Kreckel back in March and is still in the same excellent condition. I have put 5 rolls through it. While the huge negatives are a joy to see, the camera is not getting much use.

The camera is the pre-war uncoated version. Glass is clean, no haze, fungus. Rangefinder is accurate (though vertical is ever slightly off). Notice that I put a small black tape to help with rangefinder patch contrast but not critical. Albada finder is surprisingly clean given the age and quite usable in most conditions. Bellows are light tight. All mechanics are working fine. The only issue I found is the shutter release does not always come back fully, so you have to manually pull it after the shot. So far this has not been an issue for me so I did not send it back to Jurgen, which he would be happy to fix. Note that this is not an issue if you use cable release from the lens barrel directly.

Comes with a collapsible rubber hood that I rigged myself. It fits over the knurled focusing ring on the lens (hidden thread). This does make it difficult to see the distance scale or aperture number, but excellent solution against flare. Shutter is Compur Rapid with speeds of B - 400. Aperture is a sliding scale 3.5 - 32. No flash synch.

Mamiya 645 Super Kit with 55mm f2.8 N (EXCL) - $255 ($15 shipping)
While the Super is more versatile compared to Mamiya 645 1000s, I seem to prefer to use the 1000s, so this camera is up for sale. Overall condition of the body is MINT with all functions working perfectly. The 55mm lens is about 35mm equivalent in 35mm format making it a perfect all purpose lens. This is the newer N model with better coating. Glass is perfect, focusing smooth, aperture snappy. Only issue is there is a slight bent on the outer ring so getting the hood on and off is a bit tight but doable. So far I have left the hood all the time, since you can put any filter on the hood itself.

Includes:
Mamiya 645 Super body
Mamiya Sekor 55mm f2.8 N with rubber collapsible hood
Prism N (non-AE)
Interchangable back with 120 insert and dark slide
Cable Release Adapter RC401

Panasonic Lumix LX3 (MINT) - $275 ($10 shipping)
This is a little gem which has been great fun to use. I am the original owner and the LCD has always had a protector from day 1. Lens is perfect and body does not have any noticable defects. However, since using m4/3 camera, the LX3 is not getting much used. New price from B&H is $367, here offered for $275.

Includes all original packaging and accessories.
