    Description

    This Mamiya TLR C330 Professional F was bought from Japan in pristine condition and used for about a dozen rolls. There were no problems.
    Condition: The 105mm DS lenses look clean and clear with maybe just a few specs of dust (I could not get to show on the pictures). Light seals for the camera work but will eventually need to be replaced (if I find the extra I will include). It loads film, shoots and takes nice pictures. Shutter speeds seem accurate and the aperture is smooth. Pictures were properly exposed. There is a small amount of paint loss near Mamiya sign at top, but this has no affect on pictures. The only reason I am selling is I have too many cameras. If you need the magnified chimney finder or the handle, I am selling them separate but can combine shipping.
    The bundle: the extra focusing screen is by Rick Oleson. It has a grid pattern and numbers (as do the Mamiya screens). There are minor scuffs on it, so I am including this as a bonus item (free). The currently installed Mamiya screen is plain.
    Pro vs Pro F vs Pro S. What are the real differences? The short answer is the Pro S has updated focusing screens, but accessories are pricey and HARD to find. The Pro models were the first and oldest. The Pro F is a nice intermediary and holds its own. You do not get a better camera or lens if you buy the Pro S. The C220 models, though, are a step down, as you must cock the shutter after each shot. The C330 is automatic.
    Sold as is with no returns to the 48 US states only to the highest bidder. Ships USPS with insurance and tracking (or equavilent). Please ask all questions before bidding.
