It will be interesting to see if the FUJI GFX gains in popularity as it can offer a new outlet for the C645 lenses via the Fringer AF Adapter. The Waist Level Finder sells for a very high price as do the 120 film inserts. The 2 lenses that don't get good prices are the 140mm and 210mm the top-selling ones are the 35mm, 80mm, 120mm, 350mm and 45-90mm. Whatever you decide on, do NOT list them as a single lot - you will get a very poor financial reward. If you are determined to sell your gear, Ebay (and if you are in Europe) is probably your best opportunity as it tends to be the first place people look at and as a consequence sets the market price. It has always been an expensive option for the amateur, largely because of the cost of Zeiss glass but as more Pros sell their kits, prices are starting to drop. When I look at the Mamiya M645 Super and more so the Mamiya 645 Pro range they are so similar to the Contax 645 with the DSLR like grip option, film back and film inserts, prism viewfinder and the Zeiss 80mm f2 lens on the Contax 645 is very close to the Mamiya Sekor C 80mm f1.9 lens. If you have a problem, it is very hard to find a repairer and so professional photographers will avoid the C645 this has tended to depress the prices of the cameras. BUT it is a risky option for a new buyer as the system is no longer supported. ALPA Lens Module Contax 645 and ALPA 12 FPS: Can be operated with nearly any digital back. It thus enables the use of these lenses far beyond the service life of the CONTAX 645 bodies. Add in two digital backs and the kit is fit for the 21st Century. The ALPA Contax 645 lens module (together with the ALPA 12 FPS) enables these legendary lenses and the most modern backs with CMOS sensor technology.

#Digital backs for contax 645 manual
I have 3 Contax 645s and a number of lenses, plus a Zoerk adapter to expand the lens range to include all Mamiya 645 manual focus glass (and their auto bellows) which helps to increase the number of occasions that the 645 can be the camera of first choice.
