Sold 8x10 Eastman Kodak 2-D Large Format View Camera W/ Goerz Dagor 12" Lens Excellent!

[jimgalli]

SOLD Offering a VERY serviceable Kodak 2D 8X10 camera. You can make awesome images the day it arrives. The bellows are excellent and the usually missing sliding tripod mount and 8X10 ground glass back are present. It has a couple of noted quirks. Hey it's almost 100 years old. The swing mechanism at the rear standard used to be gear driven. It just turns by hand now but the lock down for swing works great. All the other locks work well except the front standard. Everything's there but I didn't want to force it. It stays where it's put anyways.

The lens shutter has been freshly serviced and is working great. The front group on the Dagor is great but the rear group has some scuffing and scratches. Almost no effect but I wouldn't point it into the sun. The brighter the highlights the more it might suffer. It's a totally capable old lens but the scuffs reduce resale value. Hard to read the lettering up front. C. P. Goerz Dagor 12" I think. You can make it out with a magnifying glass.

Get an 8X10 holder and make some fine art contact prints. This camera is ready to go. $685 + shipping. Weighs 13 lb 10 oz and measures 19 - 16 - 12
