Title: WTB: Contax 645 MP-1 Grip Please!!!
Post by: benedmonson on January 13, 2007, 06:31:44 pm
Not sure if this is appropriate, but can't find a Contax MP-1 grip anywhere. If anyone wants to get rid of theirs, I'm a buyer. Need it so I can use the RRS L-Bracket. I know there are lots of photographers here using this great kit!

Cheers,

Torben, I think he's looking for the MP-1 grip, not the MFB-1 back or insert.

A quick translation: Basically the body, prism, film back and insert, hand grip, battery hand grip and body cap. all in excellent condition.
He sells worldwide, so he most likely speaks english. Postage to the states costs 32,- Euros for up to 5 Kilograms.

good luck
