Hi Guys,
On the big auction site, I spotted item # 290350418575 (no
affiliation). If anybody is in the market for this kind of
camera, second-hand prices hover around $5000 it seems, especially for
one in this condition, yet this one has no bids
thus far (perhaps because it's incorrectly listed in the "35mm SLR"
category).
The Technorama 617S is simply an incredible camera, you will never use
a hand-holdable camera with higher quality
results. So if anybody was planning to spend this sort of money on
something like a Fotoman etc. this might be a good
chance (depending on what happens with the bidding, but currently 0
bids) to own the original. You will never develop
3Ti or Leica lust once you've used this, that's for sure :-)
Unfortunately, Linhof lust is a tad more expensive than
either.
Anyway, just a heads-up, hope you are all doing well otherwise,
Summer has finally arrived with a bang here in South Africa.
Dawid
