This is an late model 4x5 Crown Graphic Special with a superb Copal Shutter. Cosmetically the camera is in very good condition to excellent in different areas. Bellows are in excellent condition, light tight and still look new. The shutter is very close at all speeds with the exception of 1 and 2. One sounds like around 1.25 seconds and 2 sounds exactly like 1 second, the remainder of speeds sound close or spot on. The lens is an 135mm Schneider Xenar lens with no scratches. There is a light spider webbing/fungus on the interior of the elements that I am reasonably sure can be removed, I just don't have the proper tool to remove the elements to clean it off. There was some on the front of the lens that I easily removed. I wanted to mention it, no surprises. The only other issue is the tiny glass at the back of the viewfinder tube finder is not there, it is present in the front. The battery door is in tact (usually missing). The rangefinder projects a bright dot, but I do not know if it works as it should. Ground glass is present but could use a light cleaning. No leather handle is present, but can easily be replaced. With a bit of cleaning you will have a great shooter, with a great lens/shutter combination and light body perfect for travel. How about 325.00 shipped anywhere in the CONUS ONLY. Please do not post on the ad as I will not read the post again and they get lost quickly. First PM with the cash gets it. Thanks, Mike.
PS: I can include a couple of 4x5 holders if you need some.
