Camera in excellent shape with only minor signs of use. Movements good, ground glass clean. Bellows light tight and flexible. Comes in the original hard case with a dark cloth and four graphic 4x5 holders. Excellent way to break into LF. - 100$ plus shipping.

That's a great deal.

That's what I paid for my first 4x5- 25 years ago! It too is a no frills metal Calumet. Black metal, black bellows, and on a 26" "long bar". No case though.... These cameras will survive the next ice-age. At least.

I have this camera. Bulky and somewhat heavy but I love it!

If you know what size your shutter is I should have a lens board to fit.

Since I'm still a medium format shooter, I have no LF lenses other than a really old kodak anastigmat in a weird ball bearing shutter. If you have a board that isn't drilled that works fine, or is there a specific measurement I should look for to measure how big the board is?
Thanks a bunch.

Why not toss in the lensboard on the deal-might help sell it to some youngster that needs the extra nudge to make the jump to LF.

One of the best monorails ever made, IMHO. Excellent controls and built like a tank. Plus, the bellows last forever.
