This is a very compact field camera with front movements (tilt, shift, rise, swing). Bellows are light tight and ground glass and Fresnel screen are in good shape. Includes adjustable infinity stops. Graflok back.

Doesn't have rangefinder cam or battery cover, so no rangefinding or body releasing. Also, the rear peep sight is missing. The back has some oxidation/paint loss. Overall in good working condition.

$195 plus postage. Paypal accepted.

The Super Graphic camera had an electrical lens release. When you pushed a button on the side/back of the camera, it would actuate an internal solenoid which would move an arm attached to the lens shutter release. The contacts in the battery cover are needed to complete the circuit. Also, the batteries are non-standard 22.5 volts each, two are needed.

So just use a standard cable release direct to cable release socket on lens shutter.

Shame about the RF. I've been looking for one of these to shoot handheld for a while. It's my understanding that these RF's are a bit more advanced/robust than the Kalart ones found on the earlier crowns and speeds. Rotating back and full range of motions makes this one hell of a technical camera!

And it turns out there's a 135mm lens cam and a battery door on fleabay. What are the odds!
