WTB:Mamiya 7II rangefinder

I withdrew my Mamiya 7II after shooting a couple of rolls of TMax last week. I hadn't used it for over a year and felt that I was wasting money and a wonderful camera as a result. Now, after shooting those couple of rolls, I wonder out loud as to why it sat on the shelf for so long.

Sad truth is that I have too many cameras (Nikon, Leica, Hasselblad, Mamiya). I need to really pare down so I can concentrate on image making instead of constantly re-learning how to shoot with this or that one.

Woody,

I am glad that you reconsidered. It is such an unassuming camera...no view to see through the lens and all of a sudden you see the chromes or the negatives and are stunned by the quality of the capture. The viewfinder gives you no indication of how good the capture can be. Large negative and beautiful glass in such a small package.

When you get some scanned post a few from your TMax...would love to see them.

"Excellent Shape /Works Flawlessly" posted by Steven Hicks
which seems like a VERY GOOD deal

best of Luck- Helen
