I purchased this baby on here a few months ago, and have come upon times and need to sell her. It was fun while it lasted!
This is an 8x10- Rochester Optical Empire State camera. If you dig up the old post, you'll notice it is missing the leather handle on top, and the plum bob on the side. Both should be easy to replace, I just never got around to it. I have a lens on it right now without a shutter (I used the camera to shoot a bit of collodion), and I'll send that off with the camera if you buy it-- I have no use for the lens without this camera.
It's really beautiful and I love it but must part with it (either that or part with my 4x5 stuff-- over my dead body!). I paid $150 for it shipped, and I'll throw in the lens and a film holder for $200 or best offer shipped.
