Burke & James Press Camera 4x5 is a nice compact all metal camera with movements such as rise/fall (with drop bed), tilt, and shift. Other features such as 360 degree rotating back, 14 inch extension etc.

Condition: Was stored for 40-50 years and needs restoration. Leather is peeling. Back rotation needs freeing up. Main problem is the bellows are shot - they are very stiff and splitting so need replacement.

Includes: Wooden case, flash attachment, 6 wooden 4x5 holders, 2 lensboards (takes graflex C boards). Lens not included-- the kodak ektar 127mm would be a good match for this camera and I also have a few lenses that would be suitable for this camera.

More info is available on camera eccentric 1951 Burke and James catalog and
http://lommen9.home.xs4all.nl/Burke/page3.html

Nice project for someone who likes to work on cameras.

$50 plus shipping from Elk, California (or pick it up). I can take paypal.

Let me know if any questions.

Jon
