FS: Plaubel Makina W67

[bob338]

Up for sale is my Plaubel Makina W67.
After using this camera for the last year I have come to the conclusion that I prefer the 80mm lens of my Plaubel 670 to this cameras 55mm.

I have put at least one roll of film a week through it for the last year, and everything is working perfectly. The meter is spot on, the rangefinder is perfect, the bellows are light-tight, the scissors are strong, and the camera is in beautiful condition. I would rate as a strong 8.5/10. The only thing I would mention as a flaw is the ridged, rubber ring on the focus knob has been replaced by an o-ring.

I have a few positive comments in the feedback thread, and no negative ones. I have a long history on RFF under the same username.

Frankly, and a semi-educated personal opinion here, there may be no better time than the present.

Is my asking price too high? I'm open to negotiation, and certainly open to trades. I've listed a bunch of lenses I am looking for, and I would obviously be adding cash to most of them.
