For Sale FS: Prime Ciro-Flex Charity Sale

[summicron1]

Still raising money for the Food Bank here in Ogden.

This is a lovely working early model Ciro-Flex, the TLR that was later taken over by Graflex. This is the earlier model with an 85mm Wollensak f 3.5 lens and the very reliable Alphax shutter.

This is a lovely piece, either to use or decorate your collection. No dings, dents, rust or bad karma. The shutter is in good working order, the lens is clear and clean and has no cleaning marks.

THE CAMERA INCLUDES THE RARE, HARD TO FIND LENS CAP!!! Really, how often do you see those?



Also included, at no additional cost, is a genuine Ciro-flex leather case, made of the finest top-grain cowhide and not even needing restiching.

This camera is lovely, it is ALL AMERICAN MADE IN THE USA! Good American craftsmanship, none of that cheap German crap.

How good is it? Do German cameras have a tripod socket on the side, as well as the bottom, so you can take those memorable horizontal images in square format? I don't think so.

Cost is $50, which includes shipping. In return, I will make a $50 donation to Catholic Community Services in Ogden, which runs the food bank, serving more than 6,000 people every month.

You get a cool camera, hungry people get food, everyone wins!

First money to my paypal at summicron12000@yahoo.com gets it. That is also my email.

Thanks

I used to be a journalist/columnist, so BS comes naturally.

It works, too.

Camera seems to be sold, pending payment.

thank you for the offer, but someone else beat you to it -- may I suggest you kick some spare change to your local chapter of the International Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, or some other worth charity, instead?

I loved Holland when I was there in 1971. Amsterdam was fun. I always have fond memories.

thanks
