For Sale FS: 5x7 Korona View camera with extras

[athanasius80]

I'm selling my 5x7 Korona view camera. This is the more versatile version of the Korona view with front shift, rise, and tilt. The camera comes with the often-lost extension rail AND a matching 4x5 reducing back.

When I got the camera, it looked like it had been in dampness. I've cleaned the surface dirt off the wood and done a preliminary polishing of the brightwork. It will clean up nicer if you want to detail it. I've also reglued the front bed and part of the front standard with archival friendly glue. For a Korona its surprisingly sturdy now.

The camera also his its original Gundlach carrying strap, and the bellows were light tight the last time I used it.

The camera comes complete with rear extension rail, a vintage (probably Korona but I'm not absolutely certain) 4x5 reducing back, and I'll even throw in my 5x7 holders. (I believe I have 5, but its been a couple years.)

The camera uses 4x4 inch lensboards. I've made my own from foamcore board and hardware store poplar. They also sell them on ebay.

$300 altogether plus actual shipping. 3% will be donated to apug.

Thanks!

I know this is years later but has this sold?

That is really weird -- yesterday I was looking at this thread, and thinking about bumping it up to ask the same question!
