Those are both good cameras!. You are going to find that the market is going south on you!. The camera is not rare, The Mamiya took more wedding photographs than any other camera in existence!.

I would look on the site that was mentioned earlier www!.keh!.com!. That will tell you the retail price as they see it!. Condition is a main item here, if it does not look new out of the box, it will not get the highest rating that they give!. So assume that it is in "bargain" condition!.

As for the C33 lenses, it depends on the model of the lens!. If they are silver, they will not be that much!. If they are black, they will be worth a bit more, but since the cameras are not selling that great, don't expect very high prices!. If you have a 180 black and it says "super" on it, it is worth something!.

I'm not sure about the 'professional', but the 500 DTL shouldn't be too much!. Sorry, not for sale, but I actually have that one!. I got mine for free because it was my great great uncle's (I think)!. However, I doubt it costs much because of its limit of 1/500 shutter speed (hence the name) and lack of other features!. The one good thing it does have is ability to switch between average and spot metering!. I'm not sure, maybe you know all of this and it's why you're looking for it, but I wouldn't pay more than a hundred (preferably a lot less) for it!. If you see one more than that, pass unless you're a serious collector and can't find it elsewhere!.

[edit]
Ah, selling!.!.!.Yeah, not as much options there, because you have to compete!. Sixty maximum, then!.!.!.By the way, I don't know what the thumbs-down was for!. I was stating my personal limit for it; that wasn't an average market price!.

I saw Mamiya C330 going for about $30 on ebay!. I was shocked as I had one to sell but after seeing the low prices decide to trade it for some ammo instead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
