I'm gonna hate myself for selling it but I gotta do it. The camera is in excellent condition. Will e-mail photos of RF on request - $850.00 U.S. + Insured Shipping Costs.

I bought mine in the UK for that price new, so I guess that might be a little high.
Used mine this afternoon - it is one great camera. You should only sell this if its life and death IMHO. No way am I going to sell mine - great negs, quiet, light and great ergonomics.

funny - I just posted a comment on your Leica thread - don't sell the Bronica, in so many words. Ha ha.
And yes, $850 is too high. For a few good reasons.
But, the RF645 is an amazing camera. Amazing enough that I sold everything that wasn't bolted down to buy the kit. Including all my other cameras.
Let us know if that body is set for 100mm or 135mm brightlines.

Yeah and I just responded on the Leica thread. Just need to convince myself that I don't need a 100mm. Enjoy yours.

Does anyone here know you, Art C.?
That could be useful, given your youth here on RFF.
Post pics of the kit that demonstrate its condition well, and also let us know about documentation, boxes, caps, etc.

Was that U$D or ? you paid for it?
I sold my Bronica S and S2 + lenses and misc. to buy the RF645. I love the feel of it in my hands. The format is a real aid in composing the shot and fits the 35mm format. I might reconsider selling.

that's the spirit. . . keep the Bronica. They are so rare - and becoming increasingly rare daily, that they are bound to only increase in value as time passes. Just wait until the few retailers sell their remaining stock off (a total of maybe 5 cameras I have seen on the internet), and the value will jump
Not to mention it's the greatest camera ever made. Can you really put a price on divine creation?

It was GBP, so about $850.
Unless you really are struggling financially or it really doesn't suit your style, then I'd hang on to it. The only down sides are relatively slow lenses and limited lens choice - 65 and 45 unless you get lucky and find a 100. I find the 65 and 45 both great for street and landscape for that matter. You can hand hold down to 1/8 and maybe 1/4 with support so its got to be pretty dark before you miss a shot. It is, however, no match for cams with fast lenses - no brand picking as there a so many. The real win at the end of the day is the bigger neg - so much more to work with.
Good luck in your deliberation.

No struggling, just wanting to futher my education without going into debt. The RF was not a first choice to sell. Like I said I sold my Prized S & S2 to buy the RF645. 2 1/4 Negs. are great but I love the feel of the RF645 in my hands and it's much lighter.

One makes a good choice, IMO, when buying a RF645. You know what you are getting into and you are only limited by your style.
enjoy the day

I paid $1400 nzd for my rf645 45mm + 65mm + 45mm VF and double hot shoe adaptor, Thats exactly $850US, possibly I paid too much but I was (and still am) very happy, also there are only about 3 of them in NZ so I had to grab it while I could.
Good luck with your decision. I would stongly recommend keeping it though.
Can you sell your grandmother or something else not so important?
