It's an old terd, but the lens is awesome and it can make you fine art as it is*
*with care. The bellows are shot and once you've fallen in love, plan to replace them. They'll work for a while with a "Morley Baer Wrap" but they're pretty sad. The inner lining falls down in the way and has to get "tucked up".
The rise and fall lock works, and the swing lock works, but that's about it. Front standard stays where you put it by friction, and the rear standard doesn't lock at all but it's very tight where it's at and doesn't move without effort. It stays where you put it. So, basically, I'm saying with some care, this thing is quite usable . . . if not handsome!
The lens is an East German Helioprint 213mm f9.25 There used to be rumors that these would cover 11X14 but it probably only covers 10X12. And it's awesomely sharp. The ground glass image is gorgeous. Barrel lens so you'll have to practice with the "galli shutter" method.
I'm asking $409 plus shipping. The lens is probably worth that much. Killer lens!
If the Photos are down and you have interest, email me at jim dot galli at frontier dot com and I am happy to provide pictures by email. Thanks.
