SOLD!
I bought this Zone mostly assembled from Goodman and worked all of the usual bugs out of it - I eliminated all of the light leaks, and also installed flocking in the interior to eliminate any reflections and help with contrast.
Kit includes:
Complete Zone Camera
Mamiya Press 50mm lens
Mamiya Press 50mm viewfinder
Mamiya RB67 ProS back with new light seals
35mm film adapters if you want to shoot panoramas in 35mm
Custom 3D-printed mask for the viewfinder for panoramas
Shutter cable holder + shutter cable
Side strap holder (no strap included though)
Grip with allen wrench tools on the inside for any field issues/changes
Also included but not pictured:
Pinhole system if you want to shoot pinholes instead of using the 50mm lens
Flash mount
Looking for $400 plus shipping to the USA. Payment via PayPal.
That's about what you'd spend for just the 50mm Press lens and viewfinder in the condition they are in, so this is a potential good deal for someone looking to get into a Zone.
I've also included some images I've shot with this camera for reference, both with the press lens and the pinhole lens.
Reason for selling: I'm thinning the heard of cameras that I don't shoot and want them to go to someone one that will use them more.
Also, in full transparency I have never really hit it off with zone-focusing. Sometimes I nail it, sometimes I don't. When I want to shoot 6x7 or 35mm panos I tend to reach for my RB67 ProSD kit instead.
