From the estate of a local collector comes a very clean 4x5 Crown Graphic Special with top-mounted rangefinder and Schneider Xenar 135mm lens. The rangefinder seems accurate for this lens, fold-down infinity stops are installed and she's ready to go like the day she was first bought! Ask politely and I'll even include a few 4x5 film holders to get you going!
There are some scuffs here and there and some scrapes on corners where you'd expect wear to first start showing up but although it looks like she was used a bit it wasn't extensively, like a pro would have used it. All the controls operate smoothly and properly and I wouldn't hesitate to take it out shooting right now!
Feel free to ask questions if you have them and I can supply more pictures if you need them. I can also supply a printout of an online manual if you want one, although it's going to add to shipping weight. I'm asking $350 for the old girl because she's got a nice lens and is in such good condition. Plus shipping, of course! I take Paypal and USPS money orders (United States Postal Service ONLY!) and prefer to ship Priority Mail. She's not a lightweight so figure a medium Fixed Rate box, most likely. Thanks!
