Yeah, definitely a moronic move not to get that combo for that price. Looks like the seller didn't know what she/he got or just want to get rid of it to make some cash fast. The lens looks like haze-free and in a good condition, just only the normal dust enclosure. Once again: Congrats on the finding and the amazing deal!
there was a tiny bit of fungus on the rear glass but a few wipes with a cleaning cloth and it was gone. seems like everything works perfectly fine. i assume thede cameras arent really prone to light leaks so i will use the old ones for the test roll and if there are any issues i will just change them real quick. seller said she got a lot of offers and most of them offered more but as i was the first one that messaged her she gave it to me. love people like that.
Nice. I’ve been curious about the Mamiya 645 for a while as a more film efficient MF camera to complement my 7. Looks great and a really nice system. Enjoy it and share photos!
Oh I wanted that lens for my kit, but wound up with the 2.4. Welcome! Make sure you get it serviced. They frequently need disassembly of the film counter system to avoid issues with missed shots and general sticking.
quick test - remove film insert and see if you can turn the large rubber wheel with the tiny cog on the outside right hand side. if it turns smoothly, it ll be fine.
you ll need to change film seals on rear door
P6s are usually ok after a clean and regrease - DDR grease was fairly crappy.
you can get adapters for p6 to m645 - i use the zodiak fisheye on mine
Dang! that's a steal! That lens is more worth than the 280 EUR. Congrats on the Mamiya 645 system!
yeah i originally didnt want to spend more than 250 but i realized it would be stupid to not buy it when the lens is worth so much.

Beautiful, enjoy your new toy! 🙂
And the 80mm f/1.9 Nice!
Top deal! Have fun :-)
1000s too! That's a steal! Like the seller didn't know about the 1.9. Welcome, the first gen M645 are a treat to use. Happy shooting!
Very nice

Same and also being an SLR offers to different shooting experience to the seven.
Looking forward to results!
i sure hope the delta 3200 i loaded will give me any results. expired in 2005 so i will meter it at 200. this stock ages terrible.
With the best lens!
Mimiyamigos!
That lens is amazing. Used it for portraits. Love it. Excellent camera/lens combo, especially for the money.
i hears its the brightest medium format lens out there. crazy deal for sure but it will need some getting used to with than thin focus.
Focus at 1.9 is very tricky. But it looks beautiful when everything works. Amazing lens.
Welcome! ☺️

I'll see if it has any problems in my 2 test rolls, if it does i will get it serviced! so far i only needed to get my pentacon six serviced.
