Found: R w/3 lenses + extras for $350

[RayPA]

I'm not sure of the RFF protocol for this, but I found someone local to the Bay Area that is selling a Bessa R with:

2 Industar 2.8/55mm lenses
1 Jupiter 1.8/85mm lens
Push Button shutter release
Universal Viewfinder(works for 28mm,55mm, 85mm, and 135mm lenses)

For $350. I'm all GASsed out, but this sounds like a decent deal. I'm not affliated with this person, nor do I know if the gear is still available, or what condition it is in. I certainly don't want to advertise for "him", but I'd just hate to see this go to *Bay, if someone here is looking and might be interested. So, maybe the best way to do this is if anyone is interested email or PM me and I'll pass the link along.

Too bad those weren't C/V lenses!

Yeah, In hindsight it may not be a great deal, but I know some here like these lenses.

R body: $200 tops
Jupiter 85mm f2: $100 tops
I-61: $25 tops
finder: ?

Yeah, it's actually NOT that bad of a deal. It's just not really that good of one either. It isn't a steal.

I would have prefered the IIIc with Summitar for $275!

Is that gone? I was in line for that.

Ray, I don't know, I assumed it was by reading the thread, but I've been known to be wrong. Good luck!

I can understand why you might be looking for steals, but sometimes just getting something for what it's worth is good enough and a damn good deal, especially when faced with what goes on, on *Bay. Steals are far and few and the way things have been going on *bay so is the true value of a thing. If you could talk this seller down $25 bucks, you'd have a REALLY good deal, especially considering what would happen if this hit *bay. 🙂 🙂 🙂
