I don't use this, so it's time to move it along to someone who will.

Nice user. Everything works well. The rangefinder is accurate, the shutters provide good exposure, I didn't have any light leaks from the holders (or anything else).

The kit includes: Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5 with a "Graflex" back. This uses the slotted film holders, 5 of which are included. Also included is the appropriate "bag mag" with 12 septums for fast work using the rangefinder. The sports finder is intact and works great.

BOTH a 135mm f4.7 Optar on a Graflex board and a 90mm f6.8 Optar on a home-made (and light tight!) board are included. Lenses are clean. A little dust, perhaps a coating mark here or there, but fully serviceable and sharp.

There is a full set of 7 filters in a leather wallet, and a series holder and lens hood. There is an old GE light meter that responds to light, and a couple of original manuals too. Finally it all comes in an original beat up but perfectly functional vulcanite case. Everything you need to go out and shoot 4x5.

$340 shipped in CONUS. Extra if it goes further. I'll take care of the paypal fees. Let me know if you have questions.

IF Montreal Canada is possible I'm interested

Hi,

I'm new and not in CONUS but interested - if no other takers...

Thanks
 
firefil, Welcome to APUG.
 
Thanks Sirius Glass
 
Hi firefli,

Maybe I wasn't clear-- I will be happy to sell the Crown outside CONUS, I would just need to charge any additional shipping. I figured about $20 ground shipping to CONUS, so the difference between that and actual cost would be the premium.

Thanks for your interest.
