For Sale 5 x 7 Seneca City View

[Ray Van Nes]

I am re-posting my 5 x 7 Seneca hoping there is more interest now that it is spring. I have refurbished this camera and it is ready to go to work. Here are some features:
1. It has the rear extension which is missing on many of these older cameras. This gives at least 22 inches of extension.
2. New bellows from Custom Bellows.
3. New ground glass.
4. Takes Linhof lens boards. When I rebuilt the camera, I modified the front standard to take these boards which are very available.
5. Included is a 4 x5 back in addition to the 5 x7 back.

I am looking for $400 plus shipping. Lens is not included.

I received a note from another member to say that the camera is not a City View but an Improved View. I apologize for my error. Actually it is a Franken Senenca as I use parts from another camera or cameras to rebuild it. I also modified the front standard to take Linhof boards. However , it is in good shape and ready to use.

I was having a conversation today about not hanging on to stuff you are not using. I acquired a Toyo 5 x 7 which I prefer so I would like someone elso to enjoy the Seneca. I feel the price is fair with all the improvements ( it is an Improved View after all). But no bites. So I am going to sweeten the pot by adding a lens. It is 330mm Wollensak Raptar triple. In addition to 13 1/2", it can be 20 in. and 25 in, although I find it is more like 17in. and 22 in. It is sharp and the shutter is accurate. Hopefully this will spur some interest.

This camera is no more, I turned it into a 5 x 12 Seneca. The only one.
