Really. I'd rather to see adds for cameras that I'd actually like than
irrelevant spam.

It seems these mechanical Fuji rangefinders hold their value well.
As for me, I am keeping my GW690III and GSW690III (and recently got a nice
Gossen Digisix from Ebay, so I'll be not forced to carry my Canon 35mm
camera for taking light measurements).
Cheers,

The theory that MF cameras/lenses are getting cheaper seems to only apply to
cameras that no one would want. (Actually, Pentax 67 lenses are quite
reasonable at KEH: a three lens P67 kit would be cheap by Hasselblad/Mamiya
7 prices. But other than that...)

The Fujis completely disappeared from the used stores here right after they
were discontinued and were just beginning to reappear a year or two ago. At
the point that they were finally available and I had a bit of spare cash, I
found that I liked the Mamiya 7 better. The lack of lens interchangeability
put me off, but the price of the Mamiya lens I want (the 43/4.5) means that
I have what is essentially a fixed lens camera. Oops.

I would echo that sentiment about cameras no one would want! I sold Mamiya
RZ67 Pro-II system components earlier this year and while I got market
values for all the equipment, the market values are low. It's a big,
clunky piece of studio gear. and the studios (mine included) need the lower
cost and faster turnaround of digital. Film seems to have become an
expensive luxury. Sic transit gloria.

Not from me any more ;-)
But if you really wanted the RZ system, check eBay. Most of them are
studio cameras and are well cared for, having been locked on tripods for
years. Very little hand-held work -- it's like trying to focus a bowling
ball!

Wow! First item in MF gear: RZ with 110mm lens, waist finder and film back.
$260 - about £126! That's about what I paid for my first ME Super.
A lot of camera for little money.

It is a great camera system, and the bellows/lens combination produces a
very painterly looking image. I loved my RZ systems; I just couldn't
justify the expense of film. And the combination of good-enough quality
with immediate digital results is compelling to clients. But if you're
able to use film in a mostly manual studio camera, the RZ67 Pro-II that I
used was just sweet.

Both the RB and RZ _older_ models have been reasonably cheap for a long
time. But good condition lenses and recent kits are still noticeable money.
If you don't mind not getting the 110/2.8, US$500 or so will get you a nice
RB or RZ 127/3.8 kit from KEH. Maybe less if you are less auction BS averse
than I.
