Good price for a Makina 67 or: how to satisfy my current G.A.S urges

[pixelatedscraps]

There's one on eBay right now sitting at $1600 with no bids, and supposedly in mint condition. I've always had a hankering for this weird beast, and although I absolutely adore my Mamiya 6, I wouldn't mind getting something with a 6x7. Plus it would also satisfy my current G.A.S urges.

Ideally, I'd like a W67, but I know they are far, far out of my budget. That said, $1600 could also buy me some nice new Leica M glass or even an M6.

Thoughts?

Hasselblad SWC is King.
Save your money and find a SWC.

US$1,600 is a good price if it is in mint mechanical condition.

I had mine for 4 months now and it is my favorite camera!

Some very crisp pics there! Were they taken in Hong Kong or Singapore?

The tree shot was taken in Singapore and the others were taken in HK in last December.

A friend just bought a beautiful Fuji GW690 from KEH for $339 (BGN). Fantastic rig. Would be more different from your Mam 6, too.

Not a bad price if it truly is mint. I just bought one again a month ago - my 3rd one - and am really enjoying using it again. The ergonomics and the f2.8 Nikkor lens are really hard to beat.

G.A.S. averted. Someone outbid me and got it for $1700. I shall take it as a sign I should be saving money instead of spending it on more cameras.

That is of course, unless someone here would like to part with one of their 67 / 670 or W67s...
