A quick update in case anybody is wondering:
Tonight I decided I could spend a lifetime trying to find solid gold bars for the price of lead, or I could just go for it and be happy with what I get. I chose the latter, and chose to go with Mamiya.
From KEH:
1 80mm f2.8 BGN grade lens, $43
2 645J bodies from the as-is stuff (a cool $15 pair of bookends if nothing else)
1 EX grade 45 degree focus screen, $9
1 BGN grade 120 insert, $11
1 1000s style rapid wind crank, only $5!
I also have a 150mm f3.5 Mamiya lens I picked up in december for $30 shipped and a $12 strap with the correct ends.
And (drumroll please) from ebay,
The worlds scariest 1000s!
I would have bought something a little nicer, but I like feeling that my camera is scratchable. I was a bit concerned at first looking at the pictures, but the seller has 100% feedback, so I decided to take a chance.
Any comments?
