For Sale fs: Seneca Improved View Camera w/ 5x7 and 6.5x8.5 Backs and plate holders & plates

[Jon Shiu]

Camera is in nice condition, everything works fine. Includes ground glass backs for 5x7 and 6.5x8.5 (Full Plate). Also 6 5x7 plate holders and 2 6.5x8.5 plate holders in good condition - need minor cleaning and waxing of slides. Also a partial box of unexposed 6.5x8x5 plates, which are probably 80+ years out of date.

I did notice some tiny pinholes in the bellows, and repaired with black paint. I started to paint all the folds, but the camera is light tight and usable right now. Bellows extension is about 15 inches. The nickel plated hardware has some corrosion, but I polished.

The 5x7 back also fits regular film holders, but I believe you would need to make a shim to focus with. I can give more info.

Also included is a lensboard and a splitter board for the 6.5x8.5 back.

$250 plus shipping. Paypal accepted. I will be away 1/23-27.

Camera and everything has been SOLD


I'm including a 5x7 focusing shim so that film holders like the 5x7 Kodak/Graflex holders will have accurate focus.

I also have available 5x7 Kodak/Graflex film holders.
