For Sale Calumet 4x5 monorail

[illumiquest]

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.

Does it come with any lensboards? I am very interested...

 

[Ektagraphic]

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.

I've got a blank board with a 3/8" starter hole for an extra 10$

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.

 

[illumiquest]

I dont' think 110 is a bad deal for a camera, board, holders, dark cloth and case.

What is the rail size?

 

[illumiquest]

Can't seem to find my darn tape measure, looks like a little larger than 1/2"?

 

[JRJacobs]

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

Fotch--were you asking how long the rail is?

 

[sidearm613]

I sent you an email. I think I'll take it, pending bank approval, etc.

Great way to try out Ektar 100

Meh, I'm a Fujichrome guy. Either that or B&W, in which case I'll buy a box of TXP to compliment the FP4

 

[Ektagraphic]

TXP is an awesome film to shoot 4x5 with!

b/w is the bizness. Pending sale to David.

I would like this if you can wait until Monday the 10th for payment ? That is if nobody takes it before then. email me at tbreedlove@gmail.com if it is still available then.
