steve_cohen1 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I am looking for the 6x8 baffle for a Mamiya RB Pro SD camera. This is the baffle that fits on the rear of the camera so you can do 6x8 imaging. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanKlein Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 STeve, there are companies in Japan that may have these things. I haven't bought anything from them. Frankly, I hesitate because of my lack of trust. But some people say some are very reliable. In any case, it's a relatively small item and low cost so maybe you can take a chance.

AlanKlein Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Here's something I found. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MAMIYA-RB67-PRO-S-6x8-REVOLVING-FILM-BACK-ADAPTER-for-S-SD-15049/323935335446?_trkparms=aid=555018&algo=PL.SIM&ao=2&asc=20160908110712&meid=4eb3b9eb59c347dc9612da23be3d4f4f&pid=100677&rk=1&rkt=30&sd=293214534951&itm=323935335446&pmt=1&noa=0&pg=2385738&_trksid=p2385738.c100677.m4598 Flickr gallery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alanklein2000/albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I have bought quite a few things from Japan - all better than described, never a problem. Be sure to get free shipping & use PayPal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... everything I've bought from Japan has a $20 to $30 shipping charge.... http://bayouline.com/o2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Paypal protect you when you use ebay? How does paypal protect when you buy direct from the seller?

ed_farmer Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Because both the buyer and the seller must be members for a PayPal payment to complete, both have agreed to PayPal terms which include dispute resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsetto Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) eBay has drifted so far away from "neutral" to "the buyer is always right" that sellers are now far more likely to be scammed than buyers. At this point, eBay policy is so fanatically buyer-biased they will literally go to a sellers house with a battering ram and make them pawn their grandmothers wedding ring to reimburse you if you aren't satisfied. eBay can't get blood from a stone, however, so common sense still applies: avoid buying expensive items from a seller with few prior sales in their history, or located in some problematic Eastern European, South American or African countries. IOW, buying from an eBay seller is roughly comparable to buying from an Amazon affiliated seller. Japanese eBay dealers are nearly always perfectly safe, especially in cases like this where the item is mechanical with no optical or mirrored surfaces that might harbor undiscovered fungus issues. A dealer with feedback numbering in the thousands and a 100% current rating is essentially risk-free: eBay definitely has their tentacles in that seller's banking system, and can retrieve your money in the unlikely event of an unresolved dispute. PayPal has its own protection layer, and if you're using a credit card thu either PayPal or eBay's own processing system you are covered by your credit card via chargebacks etc. Edited October 7, 2019 by orsetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
