As much as I love 4X5, I just don't have the time to use it to the extent I'd like. So I'm selling a complete Ebony 4X5 outfit to help fund some medium-format gear. The camera is an RSW45, which is the simplified version of the SW45 non-folder. Designed to be as small and light as possible for field work, the camera offers front rise and fall, front tilt, and that's it. The bellows extend to about 190mm. As far as I know, it's available new only from Robert White in England. Mine's in great shape. There's a rub mark on the upper right of the protective clear plastic of the GG (couldn't get it to show up in my pictures); otherwise it's better than excellent, slightly less than mint.
Included in the package is: the Ebony focus bellows with attached B&W magnifier, in near-mint cond.; a 135mm Caltar (Rodenstock) II-N in great condition, CLA'd about 3 years ago by SK Grimes and used infrequently since; a Shen-Hao Technika-style center-hole lens board; a Sekonic 308B meter w/leather case; 12 4x5 holders (Lisco Regal II and Fidelity Elite); and an unopened 100-sheet box of Ilford Delta 100 film. (The film's exp. date is May 2010, but it's been frozen since its initial purchase in Jan. 2009.)
My price for the outfit is $2000, slightly more than the price of a new RSW body at Robert White, which means that for about $100, you also get the focus bellows (about $400 new), 135 Caltar lens w/board (maybe $350 used), a great compact ambient-flash/incident-reflected meter (abt. $150 used), 12 holders and 100 sheets of film (app. $175). I also have a 150mm Caltar II-N, which I'd switch out for the 135mm. Other than a tripod, this outfit is everything needed to start shooting. I'd be willing to break up the outfit after it's been listed for a few days; please PM if interested. I have photos of all the items in the outfit--just ask. Price on the outfit is firm, and doesn't include shipping or PayPal fees. U.S. shipping is $35, which includes insurance.
