This sale is for a very rare and really excellent condition Mamiya 645 200mm f2.8 Apo lens – fully working and with original box and instructions.
This lens is cosmetically really excellent with just slight paint loss on the barrel and hood as shown in the photos – purely cosmetic and not that hard to retouch if you really want to. The glass is perfect. Mechanically focus and iris work perfectly with no issues. Even the original screw in hood is supplied as well as the built-in sliding hood. No idea why this lens needs two hoods, but its got them. The rather marked original box is included, plus the original instructions in really good condition.
A most useful and very rare lens with superb bokeh, equivalent to about 130mm in 135 format. Also included are both lens caps. Near mint overall apart from a little cosmetic paint loss; you will have huge difficulty finding a better example – or any other example apart from (at the time of listing) two in the USA and a few in Japan. A wonderful lens that I have really enjoyed using, and fantastic performance with a Mamiya 645 2x converter – gives you a most useful 400mm f5.6. I hardly ever shoot 645 now so sadly it is time for it to go.
