It was fun but my days of shooting with a 6x9 'view camera' are over for now. So time to send the items on their way. I am not going to take photos until someone asks, then happy to send them and will probably post them here. Too much to photograph.
* Century Graphic 6x9 press camera. Bought from someone here, I think? I removed all rangefinder and viewfinder items so it is now a slim body for view-type camera work only. With Arca plates on two sides for horizontal and vertical framing. Focus screen is a Mamiya RB/Z 67 matte, cut down and masked off. I also have a piece of full 6x9 ground glass with a plastic fresnel. MODIFIED- lens standard has the front stops on the lens tilt ground away so that you can get a bit of front tilt in the lens for a bit more depth of field on landscape type work. Need to manually align lens board with standard for return to 90 degrees.
* Horseman 6x7 back. Fits this camera, after a little beveling of one edge due to interference.
* 2 Singer Graflex RH10 (6x7) backs that work well. Plus 2 parts bodies.
LENSES: All shutter are working well. All mounted in lens boards for the Century Graphic, some metal, some 3-d printed plastic (three extra plastic lens boards) Most lenses are set up to take 49mm filters with adapters as needed.
* 47mm Ilex Wide Angle Acugon 47mm f/8. Copal #0 shutter. Covers 6x9 with minor movement. Clean but some wipe marks. And yes, the Century Graphic will focus it; need to drop the bed.
* 65mm Mamiya-Sekor 65mm f/5.6. Copal-Press #0 self-cocking shutter. I am not convinced that this is a lens meant for field work; might be a remounted close-up lens? But gives good, not great images. covers 6x7, not certain about 6x9
* 80mm Schneider Xenotar 80mm f/2.8. Synchro-Compur shutter. Faint wipe mark on front element. Covers 6x7, very limited movement.
* 100mm Kodak Ektar 100mm f/3.5 in Kodak Supermatic. This is off of a Kodak Medalist remounted to the shutter from a 127 Ektar, I believe. Correct spacing. A nice chance to try this 'legendary' lens without dealing with the pig of a camera that is the Medalist. The only shutter that does not have a button for view camera work; set to T and reset for shot.
* 127mm Kodak Ektar 127mm f4.7 in Kodak Flash Supermatic. The standard. Clean
* 152mm Kodak Ektar 152mm f/4.5. Kodak #3 Flash Supermatic shutter. The shutter is huge so it is spaced out from the elns board to clear the lens standard intereference.
* 203 Kodak Ektar 203mm f/7.7. Kodak Flash Supermatic. Some mottling on the coatings. Spacer to move the lens forward to allow for a little focus room since this lens puts the Century Graphic near its extension.
Prices? Ha, you tell me. I want the stuff gone. And I want it being used. The Xenotar has real value. The 100mm Medalist Ektar has real and curiousity value. Not sure about the rest. Ok, the Horseman back. And the Century Graphic.
Make offer? I'd be thrilled to send this all to one place for ease of packing and such.
