$500 per major item and the filters and flash are gravy. I haven't seen the lenses or body selling for less lately. Maybe on a fluke auction, but this is Buy It Now which would be a guaranteed price. The only thing I see missing in the photo is the hood for the 28mm lens. It may be in the bag.

Good price for good hardware. Sell the body and flash if all you need are the lenses.

Well, that's all fine and good, but what about one of these?

@Wayne, that's the way I see it too ($500/piece). I think Heavystar will have a hood for the 28. If I didn't have all of this already, I'd pounce. Must be a bad time of the year.

@Barret, those kits have been driving me nuts. I'd love to have that lens, but at that price, and for a guy that doesn't shoot with a 50 much....

I think that's quite accurately priced as a total when you consider what the individual items are worth.

Camera $700.00 max 50mm lens $450.00 ... 28mm, the same or less and the freight to get it wherever.

I thought about it ... and I've been watching it ... and I would really like the 28mm lens but I certainly wouldn't come out much in front by keeping the 28 and selling the rest! Maybe for someone local!

I just looked at it and I am in the market for a m body right now, I like almost everything but the loud motor and inferior finder (from what I have read) espicallly the motor. I think I will still hold out for the M6 Classic.

amateriat · 12-26-2007

photobizz: I know it's pretty much a subjective thing, but I don't think the HRF's finder lacks much compared to an M6. Not saying they're "the same", mind you, but my Hexars have hardly gotten in my way, so to speak.

Onya Barrett ... I was about to defend the Hexar and tell photobizz what he could do with his opinion of our camera's finder ... but you saved me the trouble!

I'll also point out that the motor isn't "loud" by any ordinary standard. Overall the camera is significantly less loud than, say, a motorised SLR. Not as quiet as, say, my M3 but I'd say quieter overall than my OM-4T.

See Colin ... just you be careful what you say about Hexars around here! You never know who's listening!

Krosya · 12-27-2007

I saw that set a while back, when it was just listed. I'd be all over it , but......I already have all the items in it. Plus 90mm Hex. However I'd recommend it to anyone. All are superb and joy to use for me.

Keith, the 28mm lens has been selling for quite a bit more than the 50mm lens lately. I know I paid more but I bought it from a dealer and got to hold it and check it out before buying. I also got a 30 day return.

The 28mm Hexanon is a worthless piece of rubbish ... remember!

Let's not forget what happened to Hexar prices as soon as we all started banging on about what great cameras they were ...

venchka · 12-28-2007

Agreed. Overpriced Worthless Rubbish! if you ask me.

I have volunteered as the Official Konica Rangefinder Cameras & Lenses Recyling Agent for North America. Send your cameras and lenses to me for proper disposal.

Keith · 12-28-2007

I notice it's been re-listed after not attracting any buyers!

erikhaugsby · 12-28-2007

And it's gone. Somebody (not me, unfortunately

) just Bought-it-Now.

awilder · 01-16-2008

I bought it since it was the only way I could snag a HRF at a resonable price once the lenses were sold off separately. Great 2nd body once the rf was properly aligned.

Congrats! I thought that the price was fair enough to keep any one of the three, sell the rest, and still come out OK.
