Afternoon

Just wondering where is the best place to sell a Bronica SQAi?

I've had a look at ebay, and the prices for just the lenses and backs (all I could find at the time) vary widely.

So far have been offered £500 by a retailer recommended on here before. All boxed and in perfect condition

Bronica SQAi Body
W/L finder
80mm p/s
50mm p/s
40mm p/s
250mm p
2x 120 SQAi backs
1x 135 panorama back

Is there a Glass' type price guide for cameras and lenses?

Cheers Bri

Last year I sold a large Fuji GX 680 outfit.
I tried lots of dealers to take it as a PX but their allowances were laughable.

I put it on fleBay as body, standard lens & film back as one lot,
and each of the other lenses and accesories as seperate items.

Price wise it did extremely well (It was in excellent boxed condition and I embedded lots
of large clear informative photographs of the items within the text description).

Thanks, it is looking like Ebay is the best option.

I'd love to keep it if digital backs were a lot cheaper.

If everything works ok and you still like the equipment, it might well be worth seeing if Leaf or Phase One will do a digital back that will fit.

To be honest the SQA1 was a stunning camera and I would love to be able to take it off your hands.

In all honest the equipment is worth far more than you will ever get for it. I was gutted when Bronica went bump, because they had the best systems for adding a digital back.

The Flash Centre at the Agents for Phase One digital backs.

It Might also be worth floating a call into Robert White Photographic to see if they are aware of any digital options or the studio workshop in London (?)

I had an SQ system before I went to the Mamyia Rz67 system. To be honest the SQ was easier to use
