After consulting eBay, I have priced at the low end of the range. I am holding these prices for the benefit of fellow Pentax Forum members for another few weeks, and will then transfer listings to eBay.

Bump it up.

[Ray Cox]

It's shocking Ivan. The silence is deafening unfortunately. Checking other listings I see that there are a lot of lookers, but few takers. Likely an indication of the state of the times. That indeed is an impressive offering with many desirable items.

[ChristianRock]

Well that is 5x what I paid for my car. So it's beautiful to see and admired, but out of reach for most...

Remember that negotiations with the seller are meant to be conducted by private message.

I know for a fact that several of these lenses are likely to head across the Pacific fairly soon

and that the 645D and two lenses have been sold also...

[Sandy Hancock]

For those following this thread, the Arsat 30/3.5 Fisheye, SMC Takumar 6x7 105/2.4, 645 135 LS, CZJ Sonnar 180/2.8 and FA645 200/4.0 have been sold, along with a couple of adaptors.

Consider this a free bump to aid with the sale of the remaining items

So sad to see Ivan selling his beloved Medium-format system. At least, he is keeping his K-mount system. Best of luck in your selling endeavor, my dear friend !!

Best Regards

Thanks for your sentiments Richard. Time passes and sweeps everything along with it, including my beautiful wife Jocelyn.. I will still have lots of K-mount and Sony A-mount, including a number of much loved Leica and Zeiss lenses to play around with. Now before the harsh sunlight ruins my photo possibilities, I will take out the still unsold Z and see if I can capture a flower photo good enough to post on the Medium Format/Landscape club.

I looked at the offer, but if I'd buy (I'm not in the US..), I couldn't afford the $15K and I wouldn't be interested to buy so much camera gear at once, so I couldn't decide what to buy from the list because there is no indication of price, e.g for the lenses. So I think , to make the sale easier it would be essential to break down the price into individual prices or sets of items, with perhaps with some price incentive for the prospective buyer to buy sets rather than individual items. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you for your observations. I agree with everything you say, and fully intended to do all that you have suggested. Originally, I intended just to list the collection to see whether any interest existed. Unfortunately, I have been too busy quoting, invoicing, and shipping to get to the task. I promise to do better as soon as I am able to do so.

[ivanvernon]

The 645D and 645Z are both gone, but there are lots of 645 and 67 lenses still available, so bump it up.

[TDvN57]

If you are in the market for a 645 lens or if you are looking for a starter lens kit, then I strongly recommend these excellent 645 autofocus lenses:

FA 645 ZOOM 45-85mm f 4.5
D FA 645 55mm f 2.8
FA 645 ZOOM 80-160mm f 4.5
FA 645 150mm f 2.8
FA* 645 300mm f 4.0
FA 645 ZOOM 150-300mm f 5.6

I already own all these lenses and they are very sharp and in my backpack. The other lenses are also excellent and if you are in the market for lenses, this is a unique opportunity.

{Bump with this one}

[Jim P]

PM sent I’m FA* 645 doom F4.0 and A 645 2X rear converter.
