I have decided to sell my MPP MkVII to part finance the purchase of a pretty little Wista in cherrywood <sigh!>
I don't have pix at the moment, but will sort that out tonight. Best description is a good user - the body is in one piece with all the leatherette in place, but a little worn - all the movements work and the rear movement locking screws are all complete, straight, and original.
Bellows are good and no pinholes, focus works OK and the standards all slide, swiing, rise & drop as they should, plus the bed can be dropped for WA lenses.
RF works, but I have no idea how to synch that with my lenses.
I will include a couple of lenses - from memory a 135mm and 250 (but I have to check). These are Schnieder types in Copal shutters - both work well, although one of them has some odd marks on the rear element, like some adhesive tape has been on there for a while (no major effect on results though).
I'm thinking around GBP200 for the lot - does that sound right / high / low?
I'll try to post the pix later to give more of an idea, then move it to the classifieds when I have decided on price.
Thanks in anticipation.

John,
This seems like a reasonable price, maybe too low depending on exactly which lens and shutter combos you have. Can you use one of the lens on your Wista? If so I would hang on to the focal length that I like best and sell the other one with the camera. (Like I would really sell a camera or lens after I bought it
.)

Wayne,
Thanks for your thoughts - I have been thinking about the price on the long drive home. I think it is a bit low, and I should probably only sell one lens with the body. I have a 90mm Angulon that I would like to keep for WA (not a 200 as I thought) but the Xenon 135 can go with the body.
It should be on the classifieds in a couple of hours.
