Folmer & Schwing 5x7” Press Graflex--(1921-22). Leather top handle by Bert Saunders, 2007; shutter serviced by Camera Doctor NYC, Sept. 2023
Schneider 21cm f:3.5 Xenar in barrel, coated by B&J--(1925-28)--Does not focus to infinity on this camera, but good for portrait distances
B&L 5x8 f:4.5 Tessar 1c (8.75”) in barrel on 4x4” wooden lensboard for 5x7” Press Graflex--(1921-22)--The lens that came with the camera
2 Graflex 5x7” plate holders with film sheaths
1 like-new Graflex 5x7” film holder in box
Graflex 5x7” 12-sheet film magazine for Press Graflex
Graflex 5x7” 12-plate magazine for Press Graflex with 12 film sheaths purchased from Lens & Repro--they had it on the shelf for years, they said, and didn't know what it was for until I brought my camera in.
18 5x7” to 4x5” plateholder converters with 4x5” film sheaths (so you could shoot 4x5” film or plates)
If there is room in the box, I would include any expired 5x7" film I have in the freezer, and if you can use them, I have some 5x7" film hangers for Kodak type 5x7" dip-and-dunk tanks. The bag mags are all loaded, I believe, but haven't been frozen, so it's good film to use for practice.
Video here showing how it works, I can shoot some stills, if there is interest—
Reason to sell: thinning the herd, thinking about another video camera.
Let's say $2500 + shipping from the U.S. for the lot. You won't find another 5x7" Press Graflex in good working order with a coated 210mm f:3.5 Xenar and two bag mags anywhere.
