Mamiya 7 New in Box: Rangefinder Calibration Before Sale

This Mamiya 7 is a bit unusual in that it came in with the original box and packing. My client told me that he bought it new in Japan and used it very little. Not surprising as the condition is quite flawless. Also, it was upgraded by Mamiya in Japan many years ago to a Mamiya 7II frame finder window and Mamiya 7II curtain opening lever with folding latch.

My contribution to this camera is rangefinder calibration. I removed the top cover to do a full check and calibrate and it looks spotless and clean.

If anyone is interested in owning this, I’ll be listing it for sale over the weekend.
