I have for sale an excellent condition Burke and James Press Camera with a Schneider Symmar-S 180mm Multicoated. Here's the rundown on the camera:

-Bellows are in excellent shape and light tight
-All movements work perfectly
-Brand new custom cut ground glass
-Revolving back
-Cosmetically it's in excellent condition as well

The Lens:

-Glass is clean and clear
-Shutter sounds accurate but has not be professionally tested
-Aperture clean and crips
-Includes front and rear caps
-Some Schneideritis present but nothing that would affect image quality

Also included is a brand new cable release. The lens is bigger than your average press lens so the camera will not close with the lens mounted. I hate to give up this awesome kit but I need a telephoto lens for my daughter's dance recitals.

Asking $415 shipped in the US and $460 shipped overseas

I am also willing to discuss trades for a Canon EOS 70-200/4.

The fine print:

All items are sold AS-IS, no returns. I make every effort to give you an accurate description and am happy to answer questions via PM or email. Mr. Momming little kids 3 nights a week and most weekends don't make phone calls possible so PM or email it must be. I prefer Paypal and would appreciate it being sent as a gift, but that is solely up to the buyer if they want to do that or not. Shipping will be USPS Priority with full insurance. I am happy to ship to most foreign countries, please contact me for a shipping quote. Please note that I will accurately fill out all customs forms and will only ship insured for the full amount. Please don't ask me after the sale to put an incorrect value on the form. Please feel free to check out my eBay feedback under jmooney776 and RFF as jmooney.
 
🛡️ Classifieds Safety Reminder: Please stay safe when buying and selling. Scams via hacked accounts are on the rise globally.

Best Practices: Always use a verified payment method with buyer protection (avoid "PayPal Friends & Family"). Services like Escrow.com are highly secure. Be suspicious of random unsolicited contact via Private Message. If you see suspicious behavior, please use the Report link on the post immediately.
Nice camera. FWIW, I recently bought some gear from Jim and everything was better than stated in his ad.
 
How about a Canon EF 70-210/f4?

I've researched it a bit as someone on another board suggested it but I really want the USM focusing because I'll shooting moving dancers with it (Highland and Ballet) so I need all the focusing speed I can get.

Thanks though,

Jim
 
The USM is a high $$$ lens.

True, that's why I'm selling this camera though to help defray the cost. Like I said, the name of the game here is focusing speed for what I'm doing and the USM lenses are faster.
