For Sale fs: 8x10 R.B. Enlarging Camera by Folmer & Schwing, make your own 8x10 enlarger

[Jon Shiu]

I bought this to make a tabletop 8x10 enlarger, but then realized my darkroom is only 4 feet wide. It could also be used as a plate camera. The corners of the bellows need taping. It has about 21-22.5" of bellows extension, depending if you are measuring to the back, or the rotating back where the plate would insert. It has an interesting rotating back with a turntable like mechanism that holds the glass plate. It stands about 19" high. The focusing mechanism works smoothly.

$150 plus postage. I can ship parcel post to save money. Paypal accepted. Let me know if any questions.

The camera has a rotating back that holds the 8x10 glass plates, or a clear glass to hold negative or film. The opening is smaller than 8x10, but I'm not at home so can't give an accurate measurement. The opening could be enlarged easily.

If the corners of the bellows are taped, they would be usable.
