I do not really want to do this, but I really need the money so here 
goes:

2.8 German Lens Realist
Leather case
Realist haze filters
Sekonic Auto-Lumi light meter w/ leather case
Achiver 821TZ electronic flash
Hot shoe to PC flash adaptor

Price for all $500.00 with free shipping in US

AND

12 stereo images (slide or print) taken with this camera by the 
buyer to be provider to me at the minimum rate of one per month.

I am VERY serious about this part of the price. As I said I do not 
really want to sell the camera, but if I do I want it to go to a user and 
this is my way of assuring that. Be aware that if you get the camera 
and do not follow through with this part I will make sure the entire 
stereo community knows it.

Descriptions:

The camera (SN021331) is cosmetically a well worn user (marks 
on the top plate, paint wear around the wind knob, etc.). I have filed 
down the knob on the hot shoe. Mechanically and optically this 
camera is near perfect. The lenses are clear and matched (both in 
fl and exposure) closer than any other Realist camera I have ever 
seen. I have never had the shutter tested but it matches the light 
meter perfectly at all settings (that is the reason I am including the 
meter). Both the view finder and ranger finder are clear.

The case is in good shape with all stitching in tact except that there 
is no bottom snap flap on the top cover. This means that the top 
cover is held on only by the back two snaps and when they are 
undone the whole cover is loose. (I actually find it easier to use this 
way).

The light meter is old (don't know how old though). It is a simple 
match needle system. It is approximately 2"x3". It has proven to be 
very reliable and as I stated earlier, matches this camera perfectly.

The flash is very well used, but I include it because it was the 
primary flash that I used with this camera and worked well. It has a 
GN of approximately 90 with two auto setting (f2.8 and f4 with 100 
ASA) as well as full manual. The head zooms from wide angle to 
normal to zoom. It can fit on the camera hot shoe with or without the 
adaptor.

The hot shoe to pc adaptor is included in case you want to use 
some other flash (such as a 283) that won't fit in the hot shoe mount 
or you have a non-hot shoe flash.

Please feel free to contact me with any other questions you have. 
There is no need to tell me I am pricing this camera too high as I 
know it and do not care if it does not sell (well I do care as I need 
the money, but...)

That's all for now,
