This is a Deardorff 4x5 Special. It is in minty condition with only a few signs of moderate use. The camera is made of mahogany. It has front and rear swing movements; rear forward and back tilt; front back tilt; and, two methods of front rise. The wood and metal is in excellent condition. It has an grided ground glass that is in good condition. The bellows is like new. Both the front and rear can be extended to the front and rear respectively. It has front focus and rear focus. The rear standard can be extended to the front to avoid including the front of the bed in a photo when using wide focus lenses. The baseplate is 5 ¾” with a 3/8”-16 mounting hole.

The camera can use a 5x7 Deardorff back if you have one or acquire one later.

Included will be one 4x4 lensboard of your choice of size: 0, 1, or 3.

This is a classic view camera of unparalleled reputation of usability.

Camera weighs 6 lbs., 13 oz.

$2,050, plus $25 shipping CONUS

I think I am the one that contacted you. This is my first post here and I hope it works.

Your Deardorff looks beautiful - somehow better than the ones listed on eBay! Does it work as good as it looks? Is it original or refinished/rebuilt? Any history on where it came from or how it was used? How did you like it compared to your other 4x5 cameras?

Sorry for all the questions - I mostly farm but love taking pictures of farm equipment in the field and camera movements really improve the 3/4 view of long machinery. Thank you, Craig Swanson
