Good Points

The Mamiya 645 1000S is the best medium format camera for the money in the world...PERIOD...interchangable lenses which are also good for the money...mirror lock up...self timer...double exposure...electronic controlled shutter...
what more could one ask for...
I've used a Mamiya 645 1000S for 20 years now and having used Pentax, Canon, & Bronica cameras's. I'm convinced this is the best camera money can buy.


Bad Points

None...has worked flawlessly for 20 years every time I picked it up to use...

    Mamiya-Secor C 80mm 2.8;
    Mamiya-Secor C 110mm 2.8;
    Mamiya-Secor C 150mm 4.0 portrait lens with built in lens hood;
    Mamiya Secor Zoom ULD C 4.5 105-210;
    (3) 120 inserts;
    (2) rubber lens hoods;
    extention tubes #1 and #3;
    (1) metered prism
    (1) non-metered prism;
    Various filters for black and white film;
    Soft focus filter;
    Polarizer filter;
    motor drive;
    Ambico lens shade with adaptor;
    Chimney view finder with magnifier;
    Mamiya prism magnifier for critical focusing;
    Waterproof Lowepro case with internal camera case.

    The guy is selling this for $950 - is that a good price?
