Fotoman 617 Interchangeable Lens Outfit.



Lenses can be changed anywhere, anytime, in a few moments!
A unique, one of-a-kind dark slide and interchangeable lens cone system.
The 15mm thick aluminum dark slide module is custom engineered and machined.

The lenses:
Schneider 80mm /4.5 Super Symmar XL lens, Copal 2 shutter, helical focus mount, on it's lens cone.
Fujinon-W 150mm/5.6, Copal 2, helical focus mount, on it's lens cone

The removable Internal mask delivers five 615 negatives on standard 120 roll film.
The negative size is 56 x 138mm (2-1/4 x 5-3/4").
The 615 ratio is 2.5:1, the same as 7x17" and 8x20" ULF film formats.
Some details: http://classicbwphoto.com/classicBWphoto/Fotoman.html

615 negatives can be enlarged using a standard 4x5 Beseler enlarger.
The viewfinder mask shows the field of view for 80mm & 150mm lenses.
A film winding graphic for winding the five 615 negatives is included.

The internal 615 mask can be removed for four standard 6x17 negatives per roll on 120 film.
The viewfinder mask is also removable.

This is a Heavy camera: a 2325g, (5lb/4oz) block of solid aluminum!
But… much more portable than a large format camera…
… (the older you get, more you like smaller gear)…

The entire package (including the distinctive camera case) is $2750 + shipping.
I'll even toss in a 615 negative carrier for 4x5 Beseler enlargers.

The folks over at FADU (Film & Darkroom Users) in the home of photography (England) are easy to get along with.
I discovered them a few years ago, check 'em out...

I took it out for a spin a few days ago…
As usual, the negative are awesome.
But at 82 years, I can't handle anything lighter than a digi-snapper.

Let's settle on $2250, ok?
