Sold Chroma Six-12 Pano camera with 75mm Super Angulon

[Oldwino]

Lightweight and well-designed 6x12 camera with the sharp Schneider Super Angulon 75mm f8 lens in a Compur shutter. Glass is clean and clear, with good (multi-)coatings. Shutter is accurate.
The camera is easy to use, sort of a combination of large format and medium format. Has removable film magazine and ground glass for a more view camera experience. Or simply zone focus and use it handheld. You get 6 shots on a roll of 120 film.

Comes with body, magazine, dark slide, lens in shutter and focusing helicoid, frame viewfinder, and ground glass attachment.

Asking $440. Price includes PP fees and shipping in CONUS. USA sales only please.

Trying to imagine what steps would be necessary to actually take a photo. Is there somewhere I can read instructions about how to use this camera? For example, I don't see a distance scale on the lens, so how is zone focusing done?

Also would like to see what a photo from this camera looks like. Is vignetting obvious? Are the corners reasonably sharp?

You can set up any distance scale you like, using the ground glass and a bit of patience. I’ve put on marks for 3, 6, 10, 15, 30 and infinity. At f22, there’s a lot of depth of field with a 75mm lens on this format. The viewfinder is surprisingly accurate.
Loading film is pretty straitforward, and you use the even frame numbers (2-4-6 etc). 6 shots per roll. I’ll add some photos shortly.

That looks darn cool. GG makes for exact focusing. I have a Fujica G617, I love that camera. 6x12 will fit a 4x5 enlarger too.
Just load up some 120, advance to #2 in the window, compose, adjust focus and exposure, cock the shutter, point and shoot. Advance to #4, repeat.

I have a 6x17 from the same builder, and I must say it works nicely. Well designed. It is super light and convenient.

I'd add I use a 75mm f8 SA on my 6x17 camera, stopped down scale focussing is not an issue as there's plenty of DOF. Also, 6x12 is fine without a Centre ND filter, but with a 75mm & 6x17 you can have issue without one.
