Apparently that doesn't apply to medium format lenses.

Should be picking up this weekend or early next week (yeeep!), quite excited. An absolute goldmine of stuff with it :
Sekor C 180mm 4,5
Sekon C 50mm 4,5
Sekor C 90mm 3,8
2 extension tubes
foldable view finder with loupe
non foldable viewfinder with loupe
5 focusing screen (perfect shape!)
cable trigger
4 backs (3 recently repaired)
3 rotating back (one recently repaired)
lens flag
Happy out. Also snagged a Sekonic L308s to go with it...I'll eventually be able to meter in my head |

I'd hoped to have it by now, but due to the season it took longer to wire money from my holdings in Ireland to Canada and then Christmas got in the way! Stay tuned though.

'Haul' would be an understatement, as was the condition of the equipment!
Photos will come in due course (I'm moving house tomorrow...!) but all is good, the lenses all snap shut when moving from T to any other shutter speed, and what I saw as 'black spots' are nothing anywhere near what I was expecting...plus they're on the two accessible inner lens surfaces, it would seem. Happy out. |

Kewl.
You're going to love the RB although maybe not the weight...
Velvia 50 on it is just stunning, and another great thing too is the filter size for all of the commonly available lenses is 77mm so one size fits all.
I'd be interested to hear which lenses you end up using the most as I have the 50, 65, 127 and 180 and find myself using the 65 and 127 the most.
Larry had an RB too for a while and he swore by the 65 as well as a 180 IIRC but I'm not sure if he had other FLs available to him.
Whatever the case, enjoy your new kit and post some pix of it.  |

Thankfully the seller was nice enough to include some Velvia 100F Ilford PanF 50...I have lost count of the amount of backs, focusing screens (matte, split prism, crosshair...) and various bits. It's as if someone ticked all the 'accessories' off when ordering. CAD$600 too, an absolute bargain!
pics coming in time, sorry to keep you all waiting but we've got to haul everything up to the other side of Montréal :S |

If it's all in excellent to mint condition, it sounds like it may have been owned by a well-heeled amateur hence the condition and size of the kit.
The various focus screens other than the standard matte appear to be hard to get so you scored big time with those. |
