For Sale FS: Japanese Half Plate Camera with 4x5 Back

[B.S.Kumar]

For sale is a Japanese half plate camera with a Tachihara Hope 4x5 back. The camera is in excellent working condition. The bellows is light-tight and supple. All movements are smooth, and the knobs lock properly. A couple of the knobs seem to be replacements, and are not exactly the same size as the original, but they function perfectly well. Two lens boards are included - one with a Copal 0 flange, and one a blank, so that you can cut a hole for whatever size shutter you want.

The camera has front rise / fall and tilt and rear tilt and swing. The minimum bellows extension is 85mm and maximum is 375mm. It weighs only 1.8 kilos.
