Title: Wow... I wish I has $3k to buy this
Post by: revaaron on October 06, 2010, 03:31:19 pm: I saw this the other day... I'm probably going to buy that camera alone for $1k when I buy it. Too bad I can't get get it for $100/mo until it's paid off.

2k for the rest seems eminently reasonable and I already have and love my RZ setup.

Post by: revaaron on October 07, 2010, 03:35:35 am: "when I buy" is the theme.. since today I just put down to replace 3 sliding glass doors and part of a floor and I have my son starting daycare... I think that 'when" is in years.

anyone know anything about the Imacon iXpress 132C?

The 132C is a kodak 22MP chip (36X48mm from memory). The Ixpress cameras need to be attached to the image bank at all times. It was a great solution back in the days of expensive micr-drives. Still produces great images and well suited to fairly static shooters (ie tripod based).

Post by: ondebanks on October 08, 2010, 04:20:29 am: "1 Mamiya Sekor Z 80mm f:2.8" in the listing should surely be "110mm f:2.8"?

I like the way there's all this stuff listed, and then down amongst the little things like the extension tubes and the polaroid back, almost as a casual oh-and-by-the-way, there's the digital back!

Post by: revaaron on October 08, 2010, 02:54:01 pm: yeah, I thought that was weird too. I don't really "need" this at all. I was going to buy a mamiya universal press camera for a few hundred, but since the mamiya rz67 pro ii is on my want list, the polaroid shots on the rz67 are acceptable.
with that said, I'm glad someone bid on that so I didn't have to

Post by: revaaron on October 10, 2010, 12:30:06 am: it all sold for $4,551.00. I would have bid if no one else did
