L.F. Deardorff 11x14 Studio Camera - Front & Rear Standards Only

This is a monster of a camera! 2 feet long on each side, with a weight between 35-40 lbs! Each standard has swing and tilt; rise/fall and shift are done on the front standard.

Bellows appears to be in very good condition. A bit of wear at some corners, but appears to be light-tight (not fully tested).

Ground glass is intact. It appears to have been installed by the previous owner, but never used.

I will include parts so that you can build an 8x10 and a 5x7 back for the camera.

Shipping: 26x22x14, 40 lbs, from zip code 47401.

$650 + S/H, OBO.

I have one of these beasts. There's two other center standards needed to get the over 6 feet bellows extension, not something needed day to day.
These 11x14 backs are quite hard to find. I have one that I bought from a fellow here.
Good luck with your sale. Best Regards Mike

Oh mine is the Commercial version, thus the extra long bellows

Got it from a Goodwill store! I suspect that the owner was a pro photographer who passed away, and the family didn't want to mess with any of it, so they just donated it. Likely means the base is out there as well, but hasn't appeared yet.

I got mine from an old former studio turned into a motorcycle shop. Came with the 400 pound stand. Delivered by trailer to my driveway. The fellow who brought it to me, 50 miles round trip didn't need the trivial amount I paid him. He wanted it gone and really didn't want it to be destroyed.
11x14 makes for amazing contact prints!!!
