Hi Josef,

Can I ask what the reason for selling is? I could pay via paypal but are you willing to ship to South Africa?

Regards...

Hi: 

I am selling this for a local friend of mine, who is a wealthy amateur photographer, and what i call an "equipment churner".   He buys stuff new at full retail, uses it a couple times, sticks it in a closet, and then a few years later has me sell it for him, on Ebay or the boards.  i have sold thousands of dollars worth of his stuff, a whole Canon setup when he switched to Nikon,  tons of MF gear, a phase one back that went for 15k to a dr. in florida (he had paid 30k for it a couple years earlier.)  You probably know the type.   My friend only used it for 2 jobs, less than 5k clicks on the back, it still has the manuals sealed.  It is as-new.  My seller name is "Viswan" on ebay.   
I have sent a few things to south africa, where are you exactly?  And do you have a telephone number?

Figured as much - excellent deal. I was looking around to find the difference between the 645 AFD and the AFDIII specifically as there are a few good options on KEH and I'm definitely moving back to film. This looks to be the camera in many ways for me. So glad you offloaded it and thanks for letting me know!

Hi, I was just wondering if you'd be interested in selling the digital back separate from the rest and if so what would the price be?
Thank You, David
