i would say that is too much $$$! i would think the book value would be
about $1200 for all. if the speeds are slow on the camera, that will cost
you at least $150 to get adjusted and cleaned. check the lenses for haze, it
can be removed but at a price. some cleaning marks are not a problem.
i would think priced alone:

IIIF RD--$550
35mm--$225
50mm--$350
135mm-$75
which viewfinder?
