WTB Medium Format SLR

[daniirwan]

Looking to buy an MF SLR, preferably 6x6 or 6x4.5, or a 6x7 if the price is right. I'd be most interested in Mamiya 645, Bronica ETRS/SQ/S2 series, Kowa 6, etc etc. To a lesser extent, I'd also be interested in things from Russia. I can pay via PayPal.

Preferably in a complete kit with lens, 120 back (if any), and WLF/prism. Must be in working condition, I couldn't care less about cosmetics but it must be a shooter.

Seller must also be willing to ship to me in Malaysia, via airmail with tracking. Sadly, my budget isn't much, $200 shipped would be stretching it.

Send me a PM and lets see if we can work something out.

Full set of Kiev camera with a lens and all the stuff needed in good condition is worth 300-400$ here in Russia.
I guess for 200 you can get only camera and a low end lens.

Although in my city I think I've seen complete sets for around 250$.

Arax cameras may be worth a look.

I've added the Arax 60 to the wish list.

I am supper happy with my Pentax 645 and fit into your budget.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, all. I'm not totally closed to the Kiev/Arax line of cameras. And Attila, you got quite a steal there with your Pentax 645.

Several members here have offered me a few setups, which I'm going to explore. Hopefully I will buy it from them.

If anyone else has anything to offer, by all means I'm all ears

Thanks.

Look Pentax 645 prices they are currently a steal indeed.Quite common body around 200 USD , P6 adapter and a well used possible to get it from another 100 USD.

There's a Kiev 88 TTL kit, all you need for shooting is included.

Dunno about the performance, but the price is very reasonable. There's one on ebay for 130$, and still 3 hours to bid for:

Although here in Russia you can get one for 100$.
