[Ed Bray]

Due to unfortunate circumstances I have to lose my darkroom so am selling all my film related gear, to this end I am offering my Excellent Condition Canham MQC 5x7 Metal Field Camera. Full Specs and Images can be seen here: http://www.canhamcameras.com/

I will include in the outfit for sale the following items:

Canham MQC Metal Camera with standard bellows in padded case
Canham 5x7 wide angle bellows
Canham lensboards x6
Wollensak Velostigmat 6.25" (159mm) f9.5 Series IIIA Lens (this lens covers 8x10 so gives plenty of movement on 5x7)
Canham Fit adapted Horseman Bellows lens shade with 4x filters (Red, Orange, Yellow and Green) to fit.
Full Box of 5x7 film and some opened 5x7 film.
5x 5x7 Film Holders (good condition plastic holders).
Black Jacket Hybrid Focussing Cloth
2x Cable Release (1 short, 1 long)
Level/Measure
Minolta Autometer IV F ambient and flash meter.
And a pop-up Film Changing Bag.

For all of these items I would like £950 net to me, shipping will be extra.

I also have a Genuine Canham 5x7 to 4x5 Reducing Back available (currently $780 at view camera store) but these are like Rocking Horse Poo new or secondhand which is available for £250 UK net to me

I also have available a Minolta Spotmeter F cased with lens cap in good condition for £75 UK net to me.

Should a single buyer want all the kit I will let it go for £1250 UK net to me (and include a few more useful extras and if collected some additional larger useful items.)

Payment can be by UK bank transfer, Paypal Gift (preferred and only acceptable for overseas sale) or cash on collection. Shipping by an insured shipper will be in addition to the price above. Payment will only be accepted in UK currency by any of the means specified above.

This is a great way of getting into 5x7 Large Format photography with everything you need to get started.

Will be advertised elsewhere.

Other Large Format Lenses to follow.

Ed- for clarification, which version of the Wollensak 159mm is yours, the f9 or the f 12.5?

 

[Ed Bray]

Mine is the f9.5 Series IIIA Wide Angle 8x10

At the time of selecting the lens I had 3 of them, 2x f9.5 and 1x f12.5, they were all marked Series IIIA Wide Angle 8x10 and the only changes were the shutter and the aperture.

I tested all 3 lenses and as can be expected, I kept the best of them.

For such a small lens it gives great performance especially as a slight wide angle on 5x7 with a lot of movement available for controlling DOF or Verticals.
