Deardorff 8x10 to 4x5 reducing back
$135
This is an original equipment reducing back for an 8x10 Deardorff camera. It's all original except the glass, which has a grid pattern and is topped off with a fresnel.
It's in pretty nice shape. It's got scuffs and a gouge here and there, but not too bad. The joints and fittings are intact. The original finish has held up pretty well but could eventually use a good waxing for protection.
The back of it (the side that faces into the camera) has black tape applied around the edges. This might have been done to compensate for wear in the hardware that held the back on the original camera it was with. But it fit well on that camera (since sold) and, as far as I know, there are no light leaks. The tape isn't visible from the outside when mounted on the camera, and would be easy to take off (it's not high-tack tape).
The metal parts show some tarnish. This could be polished up, but there's no impairment of function. The ground glass and fresnel are pretty clean.
The back weighs about 1 lb 9 oz. so figure about 2 lbs 9 oz. shipping weight from 90027.
Please Note: I wait for Paypal to clear to my bank account before shipping; this takes about 3-4 days.
