Actual photo of the camera for sale. You may have seen this picture featured elsewhere but this camera is mine and I took this photo.
As you can see it's lovely and absolutely pristine and perfect.

The camera you always dreamed of having
Imagine having in your hands one of the most compact and refined MF rangefinders. Imagine having at your disposal one of the most highly acclaimed wide lenses of all time. You'd start seeing the world in a different light, you'd start capturing life like you never did before. Do your precious moments justice.

Medium format is still miles ahead
Shoot medium format, archive these memories in all its glorious details. What is full-frame when you have 6x7" of film? Shoot with one the best lenses that money can buy, shoot with one of the most well-designed and sought after systems ever. You'd never regret getting this, because the best DSLRs and 35mm systems can never ever compare with the inherent quality and richness of medium format, much less the output from the stunning, oh so stunning Mamiya lenses.

The most portable and compact MF rangefinder
The Mamiya 7ii really needs little to no introduction. Much less the cult-favourite 43mm wide angle. However, because I love this camera and lenses so much - I have to talk a bit about it - even though they really need no introduction and any photographer worth his salt would already be intimately familiar with them.

Updated and upgraded for you
The Mamiya 7ii is the latest version of the venerable and frankly, formidable Mamiya 7 line of medium-format, 6x7 rangefinder cameras. It's updated, upgraded and lovely in every way. It's also the most compact, and lightest medium-format rangefinder system. You can shoot with one hand, not an issue. Especially when it's so well-designed and ergonomically sound. The hand-grip is a joy to use and a god-sent. All cameras should take a leaf out of the Mamiya 7 when it comes to designing bodies.

Ideal for the streets and for travelling the world with
So if you want to shoot medium format but dislike the bulky and heavy and very conspicuous looking SLR systems - then this is the perfect camera. You can shoot one handed, you can shoot discreetly and quietly because it's a rangefinder and it's very silent and stealthy. You can stalk the streets with this and capture all the sights on MF film! Try it out and you'd understand why it's still so sought after in this modern digital age.

The legendary 43mm, it's magic
Now on to the lenses. Let's start with the cult-favourite and cult-classic 43mm wide-angle. It translates to about a 20/21mm field-of-view on the standard 35mm camera. So that's beautifully wide. It makes even the most boring of landscapes look dramatic. It's the king of the hill when it comes to travel photography because it makes everything look so glorious and amazing. And the best thing is that it has very little distortion. You'd normally expect very bad distortion when it comes to such wide angles, but not on this baby. Distortion is unbelievably low, and it's so sharp from edge to edge that you might get cut on it. Yes, it's that sharp. It's amazing, those people at Mamiya at magicians.

It's also awesome for taking portraits because it's so sharp and has so little distortion. Push it close for portraits and you'd get some of the most interesting and dramatic portraits.

That's why it's so popular and worshipped. It's arguably the best wide angle lens ever made. There are people who buy the Mamiya 7 system just to use the 43mm, I think you're starting to get an idea of how magnificent this lens is. You know you want it.

The gorgeous 80mm
The 80mm translates to a 50mm, and it's a stunning. It's super sharp, and the bokeh is smooth and creamy. It's really a sleeper, only because the 43mm is so amazing that this 80mm is always in its shadow. Together, these lenses will cover everything you will ever need to photograph. From landscapes to portraits and everything in between. That's why I bought these two because they complement one another perfectly.

In perfect condition waiting for you to put it to good use
I take very good care of my cameras, and these are no exception. They are 100% functional and are recently serviced. All shutter speeds are accurate, there is no rust, ding, fungus or anything funky. There's hardly even a speck of dust on these babies because I dust them often. They have a prime spot in my dry-cabinet and are pristine. You can be assured that they will serve you reliably for many decades.

This one in a lifetime deal includes:

1. Mamiya 7ii body
2. 43mm lens with caps and viewfinder
3. 80mm lens with caps
4. Any other bib and bobs that I can offer for free.

Grab it before it's gone, or before I regret and take down this ad! Hesitate no more, this is one of the best cameras in history. Now's your chance to own it!
