Like all of my other gear for sale currently on eBay, this 35mm is very clean and has always been handled with lots of tlc. I am the only owner. Lens has never been serviced, repaired or refurbished. Is in original, perfect working order. Never exposed to shock, salt water, moist environments. Changing camera platforms and must get rid of most of my photo gear. This is an extremely good buy from a very reliable seller (me). Not sure why it is ‘near mint’ since I cannot find a single scratch or blemish anywhere on the lens. But since it is 3.5 years old, I am trying to be as conservative with its rating as possible. Purchased at the same place I buy all of my gear, B & H Photo New York, this lens is world class. I ACCEPT PAYPAL ONLY WITHIN 48 HOURS OF END OF AUCTION. SHIP TO VERIFIED ADDRESS ONLY. I SHIP ONLY TO THE UNITED STATES. SERIOUS BIDDERS AND INQUIRIES ONLY. IF I SUSPECT ANY FRAUD OR BID TAMPERING, I WILL IMMEDIATELY PULL YOUR BID.

PENTAX 6×7 MARINE HOUSING VINTAGE BUT FULLY FUNCTIONAL CAMERA, f3.5/55mm LENS, FUNCTION RING-55 f3.5 and 75/f4.5 EXTRA RINGS, ADJUSTMENT LENS FOR 55MM, WIDE-ANGLE SNOUT, MACRO SNOUT, LIGHTING CLAMP, EXTRA GASGETS ALL PARTS AUTHENTIC ASAHI PENTAX Originally offered for sale in 1971 and depending on the setup, this equipment retailed between $12,000-18,000.00. Only 30 were sold and I feel fortunate to say this is the second housing I have owned. I spoke with a person who met one of the Japanese employees of Pentax. This employee who worked on design and manufacturing of this equipment is the source of this information. I was told by the people I bought equipment from it is Old New Stock and had probably had never been used. Most of the items are in the original boxes. They purchased the stock of a camera store that closed and this was inventory. I have taken it to freshwater rivers twice and tested it. I can tell you it is sound and didn’t leak. The controls work to change all of the settings-speed, focus, aperture, taking the photo, and advancing the film. The one element of this I can’t verify is the use of lighting with it as I don’t have that equipment. The cable to attach lighting is in the housing. I have this fitted for f3.5/55mm but I include the rings so f4.5/75mm can be used too. The marco snout works with lenses f4/135mm and f4/200mm. Might be more this can accommodate and work with. Besides the underwater housing I have added: 1.)A Pentax non mirror-lock-up 67 camera body that has the additional benefit of a GRID focal screen. With my research and having used 6X7 equipment since 1975 I thought the only non mirror-lock-up bodies were 6X7. This is the newer (production began 1989) body. 2.) A Pentax 1:3.5/55mm wide angle Takumar lens. 3.) A Pentax Non-meter prism. Included is a manual (photo-copy) with much information. This manual is 31 pages and includes a separate manual for lighting. You can learn much from this manual to make the best use of this VERY RARE EQUIPMENT. The package to hold this equipment is oversized 12″X12″X18″ (30.5 X 30.5 X 46 CM) and weights 29 pounds (13.15 KG) which makes shipping expensive. Please email me for an exact quote to your location. I DO NO ADD TO THE FEES I MUST PAY FOR SHIPPING, YOU PAY THE ACTUAL COST. I have other camera items (and Pentax 6X7 items) up for auction and I hope you will take the time to review them. I will combine shipping when more than one item that can be shipped together is purchased. Not being a mass seller I will hold items that are ending within 3 days of each other so they can be shipped together. If you are going to attempt to take advantage of this please email your intent. I will send you one invoice with the items you are the winner of so they can be re-figured for shipping and you can pay one time. BEFORE YOU BID PLEASE READ ALL THAT FOLLOWS: Insurance is required for my items and the charge will be adjusted depending on the final ending value. please wait to pay from the invoice that i will send you after the auction is finished. If you are in the USA I prefer Paypal. If you would like to pay using a different method please email me. If you are the winning bidder your order will ship within two business days after your confirmed payment. I usually ship via USPS Priority mail but i retain the right to send by other carriers is doing so is appropriate. If you are not in the USA I only accept Paypal for payment. Please email me for a shipping quote before bidding as the rates will be different than for USA customers. The rate I will quote you includes insurance. In all cases any duties and/or customs associated with import are the responsibilities of the buyer. I appreciate all buyers who pay within the eBay recommended three days (3) from auction end. If, for whatever reason, you won’t make your payment by then, COMMUNICATION is paramount and please email me. I do need this payment completed in 7 days and prior contact is needed. Unfortunately, I have been burned by a few who think rules are for others. If you find your item is not as described please communicate by email before sending negative feedback. We can work something out that will be satisfactory. Happy buyers are good customers.

I cannot see any marks, scratches, haze or fungus on any of the glass. Both manual and AF work as they should and the aperture blades are clean and oil free. The lens mount is in good condition with just a few usage marks which should be visible in the photograph. There is an area on the lens barrel about an inch and a half long by about half an inch wide where the paint has rubbed off. I had the lens on a shoulder strap and walked about a mile not realizing that it was rubbing on the buckle of my jacket. The lens was not banged or dropped. There are a couple of other very small marks and a couple of paint chips on some of the edges. The tripod foot is clean but it has lost its insert and the marks you can see on the sides are from the glue. The lens hood moves smoothly and locks in place. I am limited to 12 images of this lens. Please send me your email address if you want more specific/detailed photographs of any area of the lens or accessories. I am also selling a Minolta 2x tele-converter. Payment within 7 days please.

This auction is for a Olympus Zuiko ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD Lens in excellent condition, mechanical and visual. I purchased it used in November from a pro photographer who worked in a studio, indoors only. He was selling it because he wasn’t using it at all (he was mostly using his 50mm/2.0 macro). The only cosmetic detail separating it from new was a small, almost imperceptible ding on the silver “ED Lens” tag. I tried to picture it, it’s barely visible. I have used it for a month and a half, then got a second one for Christmas, plus another one with a broken front element which I was about to send for repairs before I discovered the funny fisheye effect the lack of front element causes. So between all those, that one has to go. Lens comes in original box, with original paperwork. The auction includes: 1x Olympus Zuiko ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD Lens 1x Lens Cap(LC-72B) 1x Lens Rear Cap(LR-1) 1x Lens Hood(LH-75B – some small scratches on lens hood) 1x Lens Case(LSC-0918 – new, in original package. It has never been unpacked) 1x Instruction Manual Olympus Worldwide Warranty Card This is an excellent piece of glass, I believe in itself it’s reason enough to switch to four thirds standard. It will fit any 4/3 camera such as Olympus four thirds, Panasonic four thirds as well as the Leica branded Panasonic 4/3 cameras. It might fit a m4/3 camera with an adapter as well, I guess. Solid construction, weather sealed, glass is clean, no internal dust as far as I can see. I will ship to a Paypal confirmed address only, and prefer Paypal. Shipping to the continental US is $12 with USPS. Zero feedback & new Ebay members – contact me first. Shipping to overseas will be considered on a case by case basis – please contact me first Thanks, and happy bidding

This is a great digital back for the Contax 645 medium format camera system. It includes the very rare viewfinder mask for the Contax 645 camera, so you can see the sensor crop factor when you are shooting. Also included are 2 lithium ion batteries and charger, protective case, all software and cables, and even the original box! It is a square format sensor recording 16mp raw or jpg files. The pixels are very large, so the image quality and color rendition are stunning – way better than even the newest DSLRs. This is a fully contained back that can shoot to compact flash card, no tethering to a computer needed. I have shot a couple thousand frames on it over the last year, and can say it works perfectly. No dead pixels, and raw files open right up in photoshop. As you can see from the photo, the removable IR filter that protects the sensor is in perfect condition – no scratching. This back works well with at least 8gb cards, haven’t tested higher capacities. 51,849 Actuations – quite low for a used back like this. If you are unsatisfied with this back in any way, I will take a full refund. Check out my other auctions, as I am selling a Contax 645 and 3 lenses. Read more about this great digital back here:http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/kodak-dcs.shtml
