It has 4 lenses 40-150mm, 2 backs, removable prism viewer, Bronica lens hood for 75mm lens, 68mm polarizer I used extensively for dramatic bluer skies & a Speed Grip. I got magnificent slides & 18x26 enlargements all over my wall from Fuji Velvia for projection shows with many comments not possible with 35mm. I got magnificent B&W enlargements with great detail (no grain) using Kodak Tech Pan 120 film. I used the A. Adams Zone System extensively & very effectively such as using one B&W roll of film for sunny days & one in the other back for overcast days & developed accordingly to get the proper contrast ratio using only F2 enlarging paper. With proper light meter use I seldom had to bracket. I have even used the lenses in my enlarger at an optimum F-stop. 645 format gave a usable advantage over square negs for 8x10 & larger prints. I made a very useful carrying padded case with shoulder strap that allowed quick access to 4 lenses, camera, light meter & 2nd back without setting it down. It was not excessively heavy to carry around either. I made lens hoods for the other lenses. Long live Medium Format!!

You did not mention any price!
Don't think he's selling, just making a ststement.
Your statement about light meter use is right on. Proper metering of a scene eliminates the need to bracket. The Zone System definitely eliminates the need. Not only long live medium format, but large, as well.
