A handsome old brute in an unusual size. 7X11 film holders can be bought from Chamonix and original Eastman holders show up from time to time.
The Bellows is stable for now. But a new one would be grand. The 240mm G-Claron is the ultimate wide field for this "golden mean" format. Awesome sharpness and maybe and inch and a half movements any direction (that's about all the bellows is going to give you on this) at smaller apertures.
The lens shutter does not work in B or T setting. But the "open for focus" button lets you do whatever you need for the missing settings. Speeds sound great.
A movement that is forgotten in time is the sliding front lens board panel. It works the same as front shift. A neat feature.
This camera will open up new artistic possibilities for you. 7X11 "Golden Mean" contact prints are breathtaking. The format is exactly half of 11X14 so the easiest way to score film is to buy 11X14 film and cut it in half.
Added some images of the camera "at work" at Campbell's foundary in Tonopah. It is a pleasure to use and the resulting negatives are spectacular. Tripod not included in the sale. Neither also the film holder in use. The camera is very tight and all of the adjustments lock down very firm. The G-Claron is awesome. If you would like to see scans of the images made, message me and I'll upload them in my reply. These were done just yesterday (9-25) and the film developed this evening.
These are rare birds! Opportunity knocks. $765.00 & shipping (Or come to Tonopah and pick it up and we'll go and shoot in Campbell's foundry) PRICE LOWERED! STILL AVAILABLE AND NOW IT HAS THE EXTENSION RAIL ADDED. MAKE OFFERS PLEASE!
