For Sale FS "Heavy Heart Sale" #1: Fuji-A 300/9 , Schneider APO Compact 350/11 , Fuji-C 450/12

[DanielStone]

Hi all,

I have come to the realization that at this point and time in my life, large format photography cannot work for me until things get better financially. Therefore I am liquidating the majority of my gear/film all together. I hope to rejoin the ranks at a point in the future(most likely with 4x5 only), but until I am in a more capable position to afford such things, I can only shoot medium format at this time.

I am starting with my longer FL lenses, all somewhat 'rare' on the second hand market.

All are in great condition, and operate flawlessly. I strive to maintain my equipment to the highest degree possible. All have some minor/some almost negligible internal dust. Nothing that has ever bothered me, but I want full disclosure on this, so there are no questions.

I accept Paypal and prices shown include fees and shipping costs to USA addresses. I am happy to extend a $15USD discount from my prices to anyone paying with a USPS Money Order.
Canada and other countries, please inquire for shipping rates to your countries.
I prefer USPS Priority Mail for US shipments, and USPS Express Mail for other countries.
I declare full insurance value on customs forms, this is for my and your protection.
I ship quickly after payment has been received, and hold a 100% rating on ebay. My ebay page is here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/bigwhiskey88

2. Schneider APO-Tele-Xenar "Compact" 350mm f/11
One of the newest LF lenses introduced(well after year 2000), and is blazingly sharp. Cover 8x10 with movement, and proves to be a wonderful 5x7 lens, which allows for LOTS of movement if needed on the 57 format. Glass is very very clean, some miniscule pieces of internal dust present, but nothing that's impeded performance whatsoever. Shutter is snappy and speeds have proven accurate according to my film(mostly transparencies).
Comes as-shown, mounted on a technika board with cable release extension and original front/rear caps.
$1150

3. Fujinon-C 450mm f/12.5
One of the "compact" Fujinon lenses, which allows for a MASSIVE image circle covering up to 11x14(~486mm IC). Come very minor internal dust. Glass clean. Shutter is snappy and speeds have proven accurate according to my film(mostly transparencies).
Comes as-shown, mounted on a technika board with cable release extension and original front/rear caps. I believe I also have the box, no guarantees, but I'll search high and low for it prior to shipping.
$1150

Man, that's tough. I know exactly how you feel. I'm sorry...

Man, that's tough. I know exactly how you feel. I'm sorry...

It's ok man, I'm still very much alive, and a short-term shortage of moo-la-la won't keep me down! I'm just thankful I have body, mind and spirit. There are plenty of filthy-rich people who don't have some of those, but have piles of money. Equipment is replaceable, although some(like this stuff) is much harder to reacquire...

No need to feel sorry for me, I dug myself into this hole, I can dig myself out

cheers,
Dan

Good for you, Dan. Good luck with your sales.

You get a lot more seeing for your dollar with medium format. And that's the name of the game.

That being said, those are some bitching lenses!
