Want to Buy FOUND. -6x17 Camera - Fuji, Linhof, Shen Hao, ?

GDI · Apr 10, 2022

I am likely looking for a G617 with center filter, but will consider other options for a reasonable deal. I have other panorama options- but they are either rotating lens 120 or 35mm.

Preference for a complete kit - case, center filter hood etc. I’m not overly picky about cosmetics but it needs to be fully functional.

Thx

Not sure if you would be open to a custom built 6x17 but I have one on the workbench that should hopefully be done in the next month or so. The body is two Zeiss folders joined together with a nose cone, Fotoman helical and a 90mm f/6.8 Caltar.

Here are some other custom cameras that I’ve built to give you a rough idea of what it will look like: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dirkfletcher/albums/

Very creative, what do you ask for those ?

depends on the lens, 6x12 Standard's w/ a 65mm f/8 Super Angulon or Fujinon are $1099, $300-350 more if you want to swap out to a 65mm f/4 Nikkor. Not positive on the 6x17 yet as its a one off that i've been working on here and there between other projects. I need to see what i have in it, but I can let you know if you are interested.

Thanks for the info, sounds very cool. Let me know when you figure it out if my ad is still active.

Still looking - I believe I am settling in on a G617 kit.

Thanks

I bought mine here before the realization hit that I'd need an 8x10 enlarger to print these (other than contact print). Where are you located? G617/center filter/case/focus screen
