For sale here is one 5x7 Ansco Field Camera. It also includes 4x5 and split 5x7 backs (2 exposures on one 5x7 sheet - about 3.5"x5"). I forgot to get pics of the backs when I had the camera outside, but photos of the camera are here:

Tripod, meter and lenses shown are not included. I will include the carrying case shown as well as an old, torn dark cloth that you can use in case you don't have one to use. I'll include as many lensboards as I can find. I have two proper Ansco boards and a couple of homemade ones. Maybe a third Ansco board... not sure at this time.
At maximum bellows extension, there is about 21" between the ground glass and lensboard. Bellows are light tight. You'll notice a previous owner engraved a serial number into the front rail, right next to the Ansco label. This model as plenty of movements. The only negative thing I can say about it is that it isn't the first choice for backpackers. While it is heavier than some others in its league, it's also more solid. This is the little brother of the Ansco 8x10, with similar design and features. I don't want to sell this, but the gear herd needs culling and I'm moving all my lenses to Sinar boards for the other two cameras I'm keeping.
$600 takes this to your US shipping address. Paypal is preferred (gift or add 4% for fees) or postal money order works too.
International shipping would be prohibitively expensive due to the weight of included case, so I'm only shipping this to US buyers.
This will only be here for a day until it goes to auction. Don't wait for price reductions.
