Title: FS: Contax 645 AF complete kit including Phase One P21 digital back
Post by: mark5280 on July 25, 2011, 12:48:41 am
I took this off the market for a bit but I'm still convinced I want to downsize.

Here is a breakdown of the kit. My interest is in selling everything together but will break up if a buyer for the P21 can also be found.

Contax 645 AF
+ body (like new condition)
+ film back (with MFB-1A 120/220 Film Insert)
+ prism finder (when I purchased it there was some flaking paint but it has never effected its performance)
+ owners manual
+ 2 Lenmar 600mAh rechargeable batteries and charger for Contax body

Phase One P21 digital back - SOLD
+ Phase One Pelican case
+ Sensor Cleaning kit
+ 2 2500mAh batteries
+ Two station charger include car charger adapter, wall adapter with international plug connectors
+ Firewire tether cable
+ All documentation
+ 3,647 captures

Compact Flash Cards

+ Cokin P164 circular polarizer for the 80mm Planar (some minor scratches on the inside facing glass but still very useful)

Since I read and don't post much I would also recommend visiting my e Bay profile to see that I have 100% rating with 128 transactions. http://tinyurl.com/6a22vzy

Thanks for your reply.  I'll also follow up with you directly via email. 

For the 80mm Planar I would like to keep that with the body as it may make the body more difficult to sell.  I would also want to keep the batteries with this otherwise the buyer would need to immediately find another battery solution. 

The 35mm Distagon is $1500. 

Thanks!
