It's a Kowa 6 body (with waist-level finder) with 80mm 2.8 lens, the 150mm 3.5 lens, and 55mm 3.5 lens. (these are the earlier chrome-type lenses.) See the outfit here: http://tinyurl.com/6hl5x6 The 150 has the original box and carrying case, the 50 the original carrying case. Camera in excellent condition-and the best part is that the camera and ALL the lenses have been CLA'd by Ken Ruth of Photography On Bald Mountain (fixing the notorious Kowa jamming problem. He also adjusted the leaf shutters in all the lenses.) Translation: all the expensive stuff has been done professionally. Just load it and start shooting. Asking $450 plus shipping. Replies off-list.
