Mamiya C330 Professional S with 55mm lens Body SN#200566

Description

Mamiya C330 professional S with 55mm lens. Lens is Mamiya-Sekor 1:4.5 f=4.5 N# 76945  All my cameras and lenses I film test before selling,
all my equipment was serviced. The camera was kept in a dedicated Pelican 1500 case.
Camera and lens works as they should.
For the local pick up, you can bring a roll of C41 to test run it, and we can develop it in a lab near by. It takes about 30 min.
Camera comes from my personal collection. I love and collect Mamiya TLR's. This is a beautiful piece of Japanese Engineering.
This is one of the lightest models of Mamiya C tlrs. I doubt it was achieved because of the use of plastics, but rather by using lighter metals.
The C330 S has a nice feel into it. It sits solid. The leaf shutter lenses allow flash synchronization at all speeds
.
It works like a clock. I would strongly advise to read manual or watch youtube videos of this camera operations.
While it is not complicated, it does require remembering few things: switching unlock to lock, raising a camera 2 1/2 inch for maco or portrait shots,
remembering to lock it properly, loading film from top to bottom, and SWITCH UNLOCK to LOCK.
This camera was a staple tool for wedding and fashion photographers back in 70th to end of 90th.
It was the second most popular camera to use after Hassy. The 55mm lens can give a Hassy a good run for its money. It gives less distortion than similar Hassy lens.
I find Mamiya glass to give better rendering of background softness than Hassy or Rollei. The camera comes with a standard six month warranty for mechanical repair only,
warranty is not to cover damage by elements or improper use. Camera can be send back to me with back postage paid by buyer. Avoid exposing this camera to water or sand.
For the local pick up. I am available for pick up around Sheepshead Bay Area or by Coney Island. As I had mentioned above: If you want to test this camera
by all means bring a roll of C41 film ( Kodak Porta or Ilford XP), processing is 6$ at local lab, just make it quick and contact me first to
arrange for details.
I am open to every reasonable offer, I am also offering a Pelican 1500 case to be included in this sale for any one paying the asking price. Those retail for 160$ + tax at B&H.
I will cover extra postage fees to cover extra dimensions and weight.
I will gladly ship to APO/FPO
