FS - 5x7 and Whole Plate Cameras
I'm cleaning out my computer room and have 2 cameras I keep stumbling over and they need to go. The place is currently a wreck, so taking photos is more than I can deal with at the moment... Also, heaps of lenses, so if you are looking for anything petzval-like for 5x7 or 4x5, send me a message and I'll see what I can find.
Paypal or USPS money orders are both fine. PM or EMAIL only please. $$ to APUG if sold here
#1 is a B&J Grover 5x7 camera. Has the metal rail, ground glass, sliding tripod mount. Bellows are red and look fine. Includes 3 wooden cut lens boards, approx 5x5 so you can use some pretty large lenses on this thing. It also comes in its case, which I believe is original. I'll throw in a box of in-date Shanghai 5x7 100 speed film (25 sheets, worth $30 or so). Approx 20" max extension. $135 plus shipping. I'll pay anything over $16 for US shipping, so that would be your max. With the case, this is too large to send to a non-US address.
#2 is a very nice Improved Seneca View whole plate ( 8 1/2 x 6 1/2) camera. This is a black one, very good shape; the leather handle is worn but still functional. The ground glass is also marked into 5x7 and 4x5 with pencil marks like a lot of studio photos used to do. The extension rail is INCLUDED and the bellows were fairly recently replaced with nice rubberized (?) bellows. This thing will go for another few decades. Extension is about 15" without the rail and another 12" with it. Takes approx 4.75" lens boards, so can hold a nice size lens, but no boards are included. $235 plus shipping. I'll pay US shipping over $16, so that would be your max. Obviously, substantially more to non-US addresses.
