For Sale - I've got a laundry list of things for sale. Too many to post photos in a single ad, but pics are available on request. I take PayPal, postal money order, cashier's check/bank check, or if you want to pick it up locally, I take cash. No personal checks, no Western Union/third party money orders. Prices firm on single items. If you are buying multiple items, a volume discount can be entertained.
First, the cameras:
Shen Hao HZX ATII 4x5 - early serial #, teak body, black hardware. Great little field camera, very portable and rugged, 12"/14" of bellows extension (if you do a little monkeying around with the standards), can take lenses as wide as a 75 with a flat lensboard, 58 with a recessed and the bag bellows. New these are now almost $800 - This one is $550 plus $20 S/H via Priority Mail within the US. Contact me for a shipping quote outside the US.
Zone VI Ultralight 8x10 - this one's almost too good to use! The camera itself is pristine, and I even have the original Zone VI box to go with it (although the box is no longer pretty - the carrying handles are a bit dog-eared). This will take anything from a 90mm to a 600mm (as long as it will fit on a Sinar-sized lensboard). I think Calumet still sells lensboards for these but you'd have to call them. If not, wood ones are easy to make, and I'm pretty sure Sinar boards will fit although the light trap design is different. Weighs 9.8 lbs - same as a Canham 8x10! A Canham 8x10 is $3950 - mine is $2200, plus actual shipping. I'll also ask that on this item you split the PayPal fees with me.
The lenses:
Unless specified, they are on Technika-style lensboards. Shipping within the US via Priority Mail is $20 per lens, if you are buying more than one, contact me for a price.
Rodenstock 90mm Grandagon f6.8 - Like new condition. $500 with, $475 without lensboard.
Sinaron (sinar-branded) 150mm f5.6 - Like new condition. $350 with, $325 without lensboard.
Sinaron 210mm f5.6 - like new condition. $400 with, $375 without lensboard.
Konica Hexanon GRII 260mm f9. Excellent condition. In barrel, no shutter, no lensboard. Has flange. Will cover 11x14. $325.
Heliar 240mm f4.5 - in barrel, no lensboard, no shutter. Covers Whole Plate, 5x7 with movement. Has SK Grimes flange. $300.
Fujinon 250 f6.7 - glass excellent, shutter accurate. Has ding in the rear which looks ugly but only means you can't mount screw-in filters on the rear element. Bought it from Jim at Midwest Photo that way, used it and never had a problem. $300 with lensboard, $275 without.

it's slow and expensive, but I enjoy it.
