Sold 2 swing lens al vista panoramic cameras , a 4B , & a baby al vista (takes 120)

[Redcurtain]

a pair of swing lens panoramic cameras - over 100 years old

the swing lens shutter assemblies both work
they are in fair to good condition - both need work to shoot film

the 4B takes 4" roll film & has the earlier spring set shutter with 3 speeds
the camera has a simple shutter capping device actuated at the end of
the exposure - so you can swing it back to taking position with out exposing film
it has a rotating finder waist level with a ground glass & mirror to assess view
there is a hole in the bellows

the baby al vista takes conventional 120 roll film
it has the gear driven shutter
speeds are changed by fans attached to a rod on top of camera ( there are no fans )
you have to place the lens cap on when winding the shutter ( lens cap present - needs felt liner )
the shutter runs good - someone replaced the leather bellows ( its intact but stiff from age )

I see these as collectables - they do work - but need repairs to photograph with

$175 for both
plus $30 ground advantage shipping

our postal system is expensive to Europe
