KEH has had a "Mamiyaflex" with no picture at the bottom of the Body listing for a while now. I took a chance and got it since I loved playing with a friends C2 earlier this year. I love it. The C330 I have is huge but I love that one too. This little C2 is much easier to hold and carry and I don't mind operating everything in a pure manual mode.
So, what's wrong with it..... Well, all things considered, it's darn clean! It appears to have taken a hit at one time and knocked loose a strap lug. I'll have to dive into that and find out how to make it right again. It's loose in the side of the body and if left this way will lock up the lens when retracting it back into the body. I'm just guessing here but I'm thinking it's just soldered to the inside of the body panel. I'll find out tomorrow-ish.
The lens retaining wire was a little loose on the top so I did a little bendy on it and it's much better now.
That's really it. Not much to fix on this, and it was only $60!!!
The WLF I have handy looks to be a late model Type 1. It has the little chrome struts for the front and back panels, and the 80mm sports finder. And it will not mount on this body!!!! I'm going to figure out a way to get this on there. Just need a pair of pliers
Pics coming soon!
