For Sale FS: 8x10 Rochester View Variation 4

[Fotoguy20d]

For sale, a Rochester View, Variation 4 made by Eastman Kodak between 1905 and 1918. This is a diminutive little camera compared to my 2-D or Calumet C-1. It weighs in a bit over 6 lbs without lensboard. There's no extension to the base, and doesn't look to have been designed for it (no attachment points seen) and the bellows are clearly too short. The bellows are stiff and have pinholes - I started sealing them but never got around to finishing. Rather limits even getting to the full extension of the base. Perhaps because the bellows are tight (although the repair looks to be fairly old), the front standard looks to have had a failure and is now bolted to the base. The back is very pretty, and a modern plastic (Fidelity) holder seems to fit properly. Includes a sliding 5x7 back that needs some light sealing added. It wood be a good repair project for someone who wants a lightweight hiking camera.

Looking for $200 + shipping
