Mamiya c330, relative value of accessories
I have a number of Mamiya C330s and am planning on selling a couple of them.
But I don't know how to evaluate the relative value of some of teh accessories. I have both a prism finder and a "sports finder" that looks like the prism but uses mirrors instead of a big hunk of glass. Which one of these is considered to be the more desirable? Or perhaps the more valuable? I'm inclined to sell the prism just because it is heavier. Thaks in advance for any advice. Matt www.traskphoto.com |

Mamiya c330, relative value of accessories
Ebay is your friend. Search on completed auctions and ignore ones where no
one bought anything. But none of it is worth much these days. "Valerie Kolbert" wrote in message . .. I have a number of Mamiya C330s and am planning on selling a couple of them.

Matt www.traskphoto.com Both methods previously recommended will help you determine current value, but not necessarily accurately, as condition is paramount and eBay can't hold a candle to KEH in determining condition in my experience. eBay has a greater fluctuation in prices due to the nature of auctions, while KEH is the industry standard in grading of used items. I have personally received some C330 items from auctions that would not have even passed KEH grading, so for that reason I recommend KEH. I am not an agent of either KEH or eBay, just sharing my experiences. As for the "Sports Finder" you mention, I believe you are mistaken in the nomenclature. The "Sports Finder" is built into the waist level finder hood. I believe you may be referring to the Porrofinder which as I understand it uses mirrors to orient the image in the viewfinder correctly. My Prism Finder image orientation is upright but still backwards right to left when reading the data off the focusing screen. Hope this helps. Silver-and-Silicon. |

Those aren't worth a lot. The prism finder is more desirable, and those go for about $150, if you are lucky. Patrick |
