Continuing the reduction in kit forced by an imminent house move, I'm offering a chance to buy a Mamiya 7 camera in very good condition. Functionally 100%, internals are clean--body shows signs of use, but nothing untoward.

Rangefinder is in sync, both horizontally and vertically, with my 5 lenses, so no worries there.

I bought it 6 years ago, 2nd-hand, from a camera shop in Andover. As part of the deal, it was sent away to be serviced beforehand, to make sure everything was OK. According to my records, I have put 57 films through it since then (9 120s, and 48 220s) so it's not had a lot of use from me (I currently own 3 Mamiya 7 bodies). I used this camera for colour negative film; since I have now only shoot slide and B&W, this body is now surplus to my needs.

The camera comes with the correct Mamiya body cap, and alo the proper strap (used, but perfectly functional).

I'm looking for £400 + insured P&P for this camera, which is a slight discount to what they appear to be going for on an auction site. I strongly prefer bank transfer or a cheque; international buyers please contact me to discuss arrangements if you are interested.

I've put some photos here, but I'm happy to mail a ZIP file with more, and bigger, photos--PM me your email address if you want the ZIP.

Happy to offer a money back guarantee: if you are not happy with it in the first seven days, for any reason, let me know, and ship it back to me. I'll refund purchase price and cost of sending camera to you, on receipt of the camera in original condition.

As an optional accessory for this camera, I can offer the dedicated L bracket from Kirk Enterprises, the BL-7II. Designed to fit snugly around the camera, it allows for quick changes between horizontal and vertical orientation, when using a tripod head which uses the Arca-Swiss style of detachable plates.

This bracket was bought new by me, and has been fitted to the camera since I bought it. It's in excellent condition, and comes with the approprite screws, clip for the strap, Allen key, and instructions.

Looking for £60 for this, plus P&P if not bought with the camera.

I'm VERY interested (with the bracket), but as I'm paying for a cruise would not be able to buy it until August. If you have not sold it by then I would be interested.

I'm prepared to reserve it for you, until 31/Aug, if you are sure you want it. I can put it back in the camera bag until after my move (and you can be SURE that my camera bags are going to be VERY well cared for during the move); it will come to no harm!

Just say the word, and it will have your name on it!

Regards,

David.
