I'm selling two absolutely beautiful kits here.
1. Rolleiflex 2.8FX. This is the black leather edition -- by far most of the FXs have that brown-ish leather; I'm not a fan of it, but to each their own. The camera comes with the strap, lens cap, manual, and original box with matching serial number. Cosmetically the camera is very clean. I've tried to illustrate with detailed photos throughout. The camera comes equipped with a hard-to-find High-D screen split image in the center), the best screen Rolleiflex made imo. I had the camera CLA'd by Bill Moretz about a year ago. It functions perfectly. The taking lens is in beautiful condition. If you're a collector, please note that the *viewing* lens has a tiny mark on it. These don't show up often, but I've seen two in the last two years. One by Schouten sold for around $7000-8000, and one in the last few months for around $6,500 (with the regular screen, not the High-D screen). I'm asking for $5,500 net to me.
2. Linhof Master Technika kit. This is a beautiful complete kit I bought from Linhof Studio, so it comes fully serviced by an authorized Linhof repair shop for your peace of mind. The camera comes with everything you need to shoot it on a tripod, or handheld. I've tried to illustrate any cosmetic imperfections in the photos. It comes with:
* A Linhof-branded Schneider APO Symmar 150mm f/5.6 lens, with a matching serial cam (it's in the body, so not easily seen in the photos), and both caps. It comes mounted on a Linhof comfort recessed board. With this board you can just leave the lens inside the body when you fold it.
* A Schneider APO Symmar 210mm f/5.6 lens with a matching serial cam, and both caps, mounted on a Linhof regular copal 1 board.
* A Schneider Super Angulon MC 90mm f/5.6 with a matching serial cam, both caps, mounted on a deep recessed Linhof board.
* The latest universal viewfinder.
* Anatomical hand-grip to use the camera handheld.
* Regular leather grip (installed on the body currently).
* A Linhof cable release, which comes with the "nipple" so that you can use the quick release socket on the 150mm and 90mm lenses boards above.
The camera comes with the latest ground glass focusing screen which has framelines for 6x6, 6x6, 6x9, and 6x12. When I decided to try large format, I wanted to try this camera, as people rave about Linhof's cameras build quality. Someone described this camera as a Leica, but for adults, and that sounds about right. The problem is that it doesn't suit my type of photography. I use more movements, and I hike long distances. I also thought I'd occasionally use handhelf, but I find I really slow down with 4x5, so I always use a tripod. I bought this camera back in September of last year. I think the whole kit ran around $9K+. Selling here for $6000 net to me.
Located in Portland, OR. Will ship anywhere in the US or Canada. I'm happy to facetime to show either camera in more detail. I'm limited to 15 photos here.
